We had this same issue. DTS's 6633 & 7017 corrected our problem. Now, the system looks to make sure that all medications in the compound have the same inventory, so even if one medication is in Pyxis, the inventory will be M if the remaining components are not in Pyxis. I would highly advise having these DTS's loaded to see if it will correct your problem before taking on the additional work of extra order types or drug dictionary entries.

Craig; Diane Shaneyfelt; meditech-l@mtusers.com Subject: Re: [MEDITECH-L] compounded meds A solution we did here was to make 2 order types for each order type we needed. Such as IV (from Pyxis) and IVP (from Pharmacy). We then had the Pyxis interface block all order types ending in P so they wouldn't show up. Jeff Thompson, R.Ph.

If the additive was loaded in Pyxis, it would not print on the refill list, but it would charge the patient as if it did. I finally had to make duplicate drug dictionary entries - one that is an additive that is not loaded in Pyxis and the other that is not an additive and is loaded in Pyxis. You may need to do this with any of your "loaded" compound components. Kathy Kathy Craig, R.Ph.

If one of the ingredients is in the Pyxis medstation, it automatically defaults to dispense from Pyxis. If the pharmacist does not notice this and change the dispense location to the main pharmacy, Pyxis allows the nurses to pull some of the medications separately. Has anyone found a fix for this?
