Pharmacy CS Setup
I am documenting here how to partially set-up the CS package. I don't cover initializing the inventory here, mostly because the receiving function relies on IFCAP/Prime Vendor functionality which I don't have set-up. I also don't cover how to set-up printing green sheets. Consult the technical manual for that.
The main reason I am setting up the package is to tell inpatient pharmacy which CS drugs are ward stock at which Wards.
Contents
Menu
The main menu for pharmacy is PSD MENU. For nurses it's PSD NURSE MENU.
Keys
To initialize the package, you need the following keys:
- PSDMGR
- PSD TRAN
- PSD PARAM
Package users rely on the same keys as Inpatient Pharmacy (PSJ RPHARM and PSJ RNURSE)
Jobs
PSD PURGE should be run daily after the package is intialized.
Set-up Steps
Define CS Site
Select the site you made for Ward Stock, and tell VISTA it's to be used for Controlled Substances as well.

A VAMC may have more than one inpatient site name, i.e. for multi-divisional sites or nursing homes. A second site name would be used, for example, whenever differen t parameters are required. Select INPATIENT SITE NAME: `1 INTRACARE SOUTH Is INTRACARE SOUTH selectable for Controlled Subs: YES // Y YES
Mark Drugs for CS Package Use
Before you go on, collect the following on the drugs that are treated as controlled substances in your pharmacy:
- Drug Name
- DEA # for reference
- Location in Pharmacy (which safe, which shelf, position on shelf)
- Location in each of the Nursing Units (if available)
- Breakdown Units and Package Size. A breakdown unit is how much would you give nursing at one time. Typically, for UD packaged drugs, that's 10.
After that, go and mark each drug for CS use.

Check DEA #'s for Drugs
Here, I actually notice that my Midrin is missing a DEA#. So I will fix that.

Create Narcotic Areas of Use
