Pharmacy Inpatient Setup

Inpatient Pharmacy took a good while to set-up. Here are my notes on how I have done that. I have only done Unit Dose though. Questions: Post on the hardhats Google Group. http://groups.google.com/group/hardhats.

Prerequisites for Set-up

• Menu: PSJU MGR
• Key: PSJU MGR for access to the Supervisor Menu

Drug Enter/Edit

Before you do anything, you need to enter all the drugs that your pharmacy uses from your pharmacy formulary. That will take 1-3 months. Here's how: Enter a Drug. Before I started, I deleted all traces of the old drug file using this routine I wrote: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~sam-habiel/astronaut-vista-server/enhancements/view/head:/JJIHDCLR.m

IV Room Set-up

The next step is to set-up the IV Room. While technically not needed if you are only doing Unit Dose, it's required for some options in the UD menu to work.
