description
This file is used to tailor the Inpatient Medications package with regards to specific users. Some of these parameters (fields) can be set by the users, and others can only be set by an Inpatient supervisor. (A supervisor is a user who has been assigned the 'PSJU MGR' security key.) This file also contains fields that are used as temporary storage of data during order entry/edit.

.01inpatient user(+)0;1POINTER200 This is a user for whom the Inpatient Medications package can be tailored.
.02may select dispense drugs0;2BOOLEAN0:NO
1:YES
Unless the user is a pharmacist, the user can be set up to allow Unit Dose orders to be entered by Orderable Item or Dispense Drug. If selection is by dispense drug the order's Orderable Item will be determined based on that dispense drug.
.03allow user to renew orders0;3BOOLEAN1:YES
0:NO
If this is set to 'YES', this ward clerk/pharmacy technician may actually renew orders for patients on this ward. If this is set to 'NO' (or not set), this clerk/technician can only mark orders to be renewed.
.04allow user to hold orders0;4BOOLEAN1:YES
0:NO
If this is set to 'YES', this ward clerk/pharmacy technician may actually place Inpatient orders on hold or take orders off of hold. If this is set to 'NO' (or not set), this clerk/technician can only mark orders for hold/unhold, and only a pharmacist or nurse can hold/unhold the orders.
.05allow user to d/c orders0;5BOOLEAN1:YES
0:NO
If this is set to 'YES', this ward clerk/pharmacy technician may actually cancel patients' Inpatient orders. If this is set to 'NO' (or not set), this clerk/technician can only mark orders to be cancelled by another user.
.06print profile in order entry0;6BOOLEAN1:YES
0:NO
If you answer 'YES' here, you will be given the opportunity to print a profile for a patient after entering Unit Dose orders for the patient.
.07*label printer0;7FREE TEXT This is a device to which labels created by this user will print. If a device is entered here, it will be used instead of any device selected for the ward or pharmacy to print label created by this user.
.08type of user0;8SET OF CODES3:PHARMACIST
2:PHARMACY TECHNICIAN
1:NURSE
0:WARD STAFF
This is used to define what type of user this user is. The type of user helps define what actions the user can or cannot take on Inpatient Medications orders. If no entry is made here, the user is assumed to be WARD STAFF.
.09allow auto-verify for user0;9BOOLEAN1:YES
0:NO
This is used to determine if the user can enter Unit Dose orders as ACTIVE, allowing the user to skip the extra step of manually verifying those orders entered by this user.
.1use ward label settings0;10BOOLEAN1:YES
0:NO
This allows the pharmacist (or pharmacy technician) that may be working on the ward(s) to use the label settings defined for the ward(s) instead of the label setting defined for the pharmacy. PLEASE NOTE that if you have defined a LABEL PRINTER, that printer will always be used to print labels instead of either the ward or pharmacy label printer.
.11inpatient profile order sort0;11SET OF CODES0:MEDICATION NAME
1:START DATE OF ORDER
This is the sort order in which the Inpatient Profile will show inpatient orders. Enter 'MEDICATION NAME' (or '0') to show the orders alphabetically by drug name. Enter 'START DATE OF ORDER' (or '1') to show the orders chronologically by start date, with the most recent dates showing first. PLEASE NOTE - The profile will always first show orders by status (active, non-verified, and then non-active), and within status, schedule type (continuous, one-time, and then PRN).
.12order entry process0;12SET OF CODES0:REGULAR
1:ABBREVIATED
2:WARD
This is the type of order entry process to be used by this user. The REGULAR order entry is the full set of prompts for the entry of an order, after which the user is shown a full view of the order and allowed to take immediate action on the order. The ABBREVIATED order entry gives the user fewer prompts for the entry of an order, after which the user is shown a full view of the order and is allowed to take immediate action on the order. The WARD order entry gives the user the same prompts as the ABBREVIATED order entry, but then gives a brief view of the entered order and does not allow immediate action to be taken on the order. No entry here is the same as selecting REGULAR order entry. This does not affect the entering of Inpatient Medication orders through the Order Entry/Results Reporting (OE/RR) package. This is only for the entering of Unit Dose orders through the Unit Dose Order Entry option and the Inpatient Order Entry option.
.13label printer pointer0;13POINTER3.5This is a device to which labels created by this user will print. If a device is entered here, it will be used instead of any device selected for the ward or pharmacy to print labels created by this user.
