The pharmacy department search differs from the ancillary department and nursing department searches in that it has filters to narrow down the pharmacy item type: Non-IV, IV, Diabetic Record, PCA and Non-Formulary medications. Upon selecting Pharmacy from the department search, all available ChartCart Selectable items will appear in the Search Orders portion of the screen.

 

NOTE: If the Non-Formulary check box is selected, all other check boxes will fade and may not be selected. Only Non-Formulary meds will pull to the Search Orders box.

 

•Once the List Type of Departments is selected, choose Pharmacy from the Description drop-down.

 

•The provider may then select the check boxes to the right for Non-IV, IV, Diabetic Record, PCA, and Non-formulary. The items that are available for order will be filtered in the Search Orders box based on the item type that is selected.

•To search for a specific item by name, the provider may use the free-text search box. Results will begin to auto-populate in the Search Orders box as information is being typed into the Search box. The Search Orders results will narrow down as more information is typed in the Search box. If Non-Formulary is selected, all other check boxes will fade and may not be selected. Only Non-Formulary meds will pull to the Search Orders box.

 

•If a medication item (and any attached components) are set up to estimate Creatinine Clearance in the Pharmacy Information table of the Item Master, when the item is selected and moved to the Pending Orders box, a message box will appear stating: "Creatinine Clearance has just been updated. Please review the demographics information." Select OK to proceed.

 

•The new CrCl value will display in the ID Panel at the top of the chart to the right of the label CrCl:. The system will calculate the CrCl each time a medication item that is setup to calculate CrCl is placed in the pending queue. This will occur regardless of whether new Vital Signs or Serum Creatinine has been entered since the prior calculation.

 

•If multiple medication items are setup to calculate the CrCl are selected and Moved to Pending at the same time, Thrive will recalculate and prompt for the first medication selected. The prompt will not appear for subsequent medications.

 

•The system will recalculate if the Review option is selected and then Add Orders is selected or in the instance that the Order Entry session is closed and reaccessed with pending orders present.
