Patient safety is your number one concern. That's why we created the Order Verification module and added it to CPR+ version 8.2. Since then, we've also added it to the Enterprise SpRx module. If you'd like to reduce the chance of errors when filling prescriptions and improve the accuracy of your inventory at the same time, read on.

From the File Menu, select Order Verification Module.

Log in as usual, by selecting your User Name and entering your password.

Next, the Order Verification window opens, and I can begin the process. In the example below, I scanned the barcode on the patient’s Pharmacy Work Order.

The patient’s name, prescription number and drug name appear in the window. Next, I picked the drug from the shelf in inventory, and used the barcode scanner to enter the code on the drug package. The code is matched with the code in the inventory record, and the window opens to enter the quantity. Once entered, the item appears in the grid. The second item on the prescription is Normal Saline, 1000 mL. Next step, go back to the shelf, select a bag of Normal Saline, 100 mL and scan the barcode on the package. The Order Verification Module, is expecting a 1000 mL bag – not 100 mL. The Invalid Item warning window pops-up and offers the opportunity to cancel, substitute or add the new item.

The Order Verification module can also be accessed through the Enterprise List for SpRx. Users can scan the barcode on a Delivery Ticket to begin the verification process. After reading the DT barcode, the system will request the barcode for each Work Order tied to that Delivery Ticket.

But wait, there's more! We've got a report for that: The Order Verification Exception Log report. This report listed every order that was verified using the Order Verification Module for a particular date range. The information is sorted by date and displays the Patient Name, Rx # or DT #, Item Name, Qty, a description of the Exception and the Action taken by the User. This can be run with or without comments, meaning if Users click the Comments (F3) function button during the verification, (see the third screenshot above) any text entered there can be printed on the report.
