IV Order Entry
MC/PLUS-Rx offers a comprehensive IV Admixture system which allows the
pharmacist to view the mixture as a whole while the additives are being selected.
- Common IV orders, such as hyperalimentations, can be maintained within
the system and used to speed order entry for routine orders.
- Consecutive numbering of large volume fluids aids the pharmacists
in IV preparation scheduling.
- IV Fees - A charge feature permits the user to identify the type of admixture
(i.e., as large volume, IV piggyback, hyperalimentation, or irregular fluid).
The system will charge a fee for the specific type of admixture being dispensed.
- IV stability times are maintained in the formulary.
- Free text can be entered on each IV order. This information is printed
on labels and administration records.
- Customized label formats are available.
- The IV Pick List, generated as a by-product of the dispensing labels,
summarizes the fluids and additives that will be necessary for mixing the
solutions through a specific fill period. This allows the pharmacist or technician
to assemble all necessary drugs and other items prior to beginning a fill of IV
admixtures. The pick list does not generate charges.
- The system allows modification of the administration time of an existing.
- IV order. This feature prevents the commonly encountered problems of inadequate
or excessive mixing of IV fluids. The resulting reduction of IV admixture waste
is cost effective.
- An IV Fluid Reconciliation list can be generated to aid in keeping track of
IV solutions. This gives the pharmacist a better knowledge of the number
of IVs to prepare.
