Medical Warning: Suitable/Unsuitable Use of Note to Pharmacy Area

Post by Gavin Walker » Wed Jun 24, 2015 7:26 pm

I am delivering this info from Surescripts® to you.

The National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) SCRIPT version 10.6 permits the broadcast of open-wording Notes to Pharmacy area letting you converse extra non-codified info connected to, but not part of, the medicine. In numerous circumstances, the open-wording Notes area functions as a chance for you to insert whatever you sense is relevant to the medicine, but which is frequently unsuitable. The delivery of unsuitable Notes can produce vagueness and misunderstanding that may cause drugstore workflow disturbances, doctor callbacks for explanation, and/or possible patient care dangers.

Indications: Unsuitable use of the Notes area comprises info that now has a defined and codified area inside the e-prescription communication. The greatest concerning unsuitable use of this area is for patient instructions, either additional or contradictory. This can lead to serious info not being expressed to the patient.

The Notes area must only comprise info to the druggist that does not now possess defined areas chosen for such info, so long as it does not disagree with info transmitted in other defined areas.
