description
This file holds, for each patient, information that is typically of interest only to the pharmacy. This should be noted when merging patient records and deleting the 'old' record from the patient file. That process does not delete the corresponding pharmacy patient file entry. This file is also shared with inpatient pharmacy and promises to become a very central file to the pharmacy.
