List Serve Discussion

Sending orders to pharmacies - Rob Savage - August 6, 2014

• HL7 v2 is used in the inpatient setting and NCPDP SCRIPT e-prescribing standards are used in the ambulatory care setting and a measure of meaningful use. They both could be ordered for vaccinations, depending upon the location of the prescriber and the immunizer. For example the patient’s PCP could order an immunization not carried in his office to be administered by a community pharmacy and would send the NCPDP standard to the patient’s community pharmacy.

Action:  John to respond to Rob to confirm if he received the answer he needed

• ICH - dosing information question - July 10, 2014
  • ICH continues its work to implement the ISO/HL7 ICSR 27953 specification and we need to revisit the appropriate answer for the following item in order to remain consistent with pharmacy best practices for electronic order/prescription and dispensing records. In the case of 30mg t.i.d, which data entry is preferable A, B or is there another option (based upon existing specifications/best practices) that ICH should consider?
    • A:
      • Dose (number): 30
      • Dose (unit): mg
      • Number of Units in the Interval : 0.33
      • Definition of the Time Interval Unit: day
    • B:
      • Dose (number): 30
      • Dose (unit): mg
      • Number of Units in the Interval: 8
      • Definition of the Time Interval Unit: hours
  • this has not been answered - need A or B seem to be correct - 3 times per day is not the same as every 8 hours

Action Completed: Scott drafted a response for review on the August 11th teleconference. Question answered with no acknowledgement person asking the question.
