Rx History displays based on a patient's level of consent. The medication history includes medication, dose information, and the date last filled. The user may retrieve up to two years of available data.  

 

The level of consent is determined during the admission process.

The consent is entered on the visit screen when the visit is created.

Med History Consent: This field is used to determine if the provider is allowed to retrieve medication history from SureScripts and the eligibility of the patient coverages. E-scribe must be turned on for this to be accessible. When a visit is created, the system will send a request to SureScripts for all of the patient's coverages along with their consent level. SureScripts will return the appropriate information according to the consent level to display for the provider. Appropriate responses to the field are:

When Prescription History is accessed for a non-Clinic (Inpatient, ED visit) patient, a Medication History Request (MHR) will be sent to SureScripts. The system will retrieve the prescription history and display the last 50 prescriptions. If there is additional history to retrieve, the More option will be enabled, and the user may select it to load the additional history. If multiple payers are attached to the patient, those separate histories will be available from the drop-down. Only one successful query per Inpatient or ED visit may be sent, because the data is stored in a database table and the query will not be run again unless the "No records returned" or "Patient Not Found" responses are received.

 

The information sent to SureScripts for the patient is the following:

 

Patient Name: Last Name, First Name

Gender

Date of Birth

Address: Physical Address, City, State, and ZipCode

 

Additional Info to be sent with the MHR request is the name of the facility where the patient is being seen, as well as the National Provider Identifier for the facility where the patient is being seen.

 

For Clinic visits, the XML temp file used for the Medication History will retain the information in the database. The Medication History will display the data housed in the database tables for SureScripts Payer History and SureScripts Prescription History. Outpatient stay types will function the same way. Medication History Requests will work for Inpatient and Emergency Department visits only. (See View XML)

 

 

Import: Imports Rx History so that it may be reconciled using Clinical Reconciliation(link). See Clinical Reconciliation

 

Select All: Selects all rows visible on the screen.

 

View XML: See View XML.

 

NOTE: If the Medication History for Reconciliation is not active, the Import and Select All options will not be available for selection.

Example of MHR functionality:

1.The requester sends a Medication History Request for a patient to Rx. Only one query may be sent per ED and Inpatient visit.

2.Rx validates the Medication History Request message.

a.If an error occurs, Rx sends back an ERROR response to the requester.

b.If no error occurs, Rx sends STATUS to the requester acknowledging that the request was received and the process continues per Step 3.

3.Rx attempts to locate patient.

a.If patient is not found, Rx sends Medication History Response back to the requester indicating the patient was not found.

b.If patient is found, the process continues per Step 4.

4.The request is routed to the appropriate PBM/payer(s) for processing. For fill data, the request is handled internally using the pharmacy database.

5.Rx compiles the claim and fill data results.

6.Rx sends one response back to the requester with up to 300 aggregated medication records. If the patient has more than 300 medication records, Rx sends a second response that may include up to 200 additional medication records, for a total maximum of 500 medication records.

7.The requester sends a STATUS message to Rx acknowledging each response.
