I don't want to discourage you, but you are swimming upstream when it comes to medications. I worked on it for awhile, and got a few drugs to show up. But the same process would have to be performed for each and every drug that one wants on one's formulary.
Here is some info about what I have figured out so far: http://openforum.worldvista.org/~forum/index.php?title=Pharmacy_Issues Another issue is that VistA is designed to work like drug ordering in the hospital: the doctor writes an order. This is then reviewed by a pharmacist. And if everything is OK, then the drug is dispensed. So when I order a drug in CPRS, it shows the drug order as "pending". Pending a pharmacists review that will never happen. The CMS VistA office is supposed to change the code such that this pharmacist review step is bypassed. The question will come down to whether or not you want to wait for CMS, or figure this out yourself. Kevin On 9/9/05, Yamir Encarnacion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the responses.
