How to Administer Drugs?
Patient > Admiin/ Injection
In the Rx Order Drugs section, a maroon downward pointing arrow can be seen. If the user clicks on it, a pop-up window appears to display the NDC information.
By default, preferred NDCs are listed here. The user can click on Show All NDCs button to view all the NDCs stored in the system database for that drug.
For administration of pre-mixed drug, enable the “Administer Pre-Mixed Drug” checkbox, the drug NDCs will not appear. The user needs to specify Rx Number, billing details, select the solution, its quantity and the time for the infusion to complete.
For all other drugs, in the NDC List section at the bottom of the window, it can be clearly seen that the dispense dosage is automatically collected for each NDC based on the drug dosage that you selected. This feature further simplifies the Rx Admin procedure as the system automatically calculates the number of vials required in every administration to reach the required level of dosage.
After selecting the appropriate NDC, click on OK.
NOTE:
User won’t be able to select any NDC from the NDC list, if the dosage value is not provided. In order to enable the selection checkbox, user has to provide dosage values so that system can calculate the total dose.
