The below is NOT a DTS. It is a rule that you need to set up in your rules dictionary. I have it working and it works well. Also, regarding the verbiage for the variance: we had a priority pack 7 for test for 5.61 ring release done on may 9th. Much to my surprise and delight, they automatic

And it becomes even more cumbersome if you are using tech order entry. They can enter in pending but cannot remove the pending. And when an unverified user enters the order, how does the checking pharmacist indicate it has been entered correctly? The pharmacist can't verify the order without remov

Nothing changes for the other dictionaries if you don't want them to. You still have your parameters set for creating/overwriting. The only dictionary that changed is the drug dictionary with the formulary/retail entries. Susan Susan Makara, B.Sc.(Pharm) Coordinator Pharmacy Information Syst
