What problem do you face in your work setting (clinical or retail) that you want to see different in terms of:
1. Patient information (PHR or EHR)
2. Physician (or other HCP) referral
3. Drug info
4. Other

1--Get rid of VISTA/CPRS and replace it with something more intuitive . Of course the government would rather have old software that no one knows how to use and therefore errors are made.
4--have automatic prior authorization software where a pharmacist doesn't have to intervene unless it's an appeal

I went to the NCPDP conference this year and they had a great presentation on electronic prior authorizations. There are some great ideas out there which are slowly coming into practice, though it is set up to be completed by the physician's office. I think a couple insurance companies are using it, so I'm excited to see how this process looks in the coming years. Paper forms is a huge time waster all around, so there is a large incentive to automate it.

If I started going off on CVS's system, I'll be typing for the next 23 years.

Hey, bacillus, you're going to get your wish for VistA/CPRS someday soon. I'm named to the negotiation team for the next attempt at a purchase. Wish us luck as OI&T's TAC's motto is "We're Not Happy Until You're Not Happy." For those who aren't civil service, the only group that has the legal authority to buy a capital purchase is a closed military base that was Wright-Patterson. The sign out there says TAC, and it used to mean "Tank Acquisition Center" and now means "Technology Acquisition Center" and they are just as pathetically incompetent at both in terms of overages.

In the interim, would you please respond to my PM about the PA software? Unless you're the station's pharmacoeconomist, that bureaucracy should not be going through the 12 CPS's.

Agreed 100%. CPRS and Vista are garbage. They are also talking about adding in MedMined at my facility, that's going to be a total of 3 softwares we have to open to perform our jobs. Not sure why they aren't using cerner or epic.

Because epic is incredibly expensive.

Make doctors run a formulary check before sending the script, build it into the eScribing or something. Would be nice if eScripts didn't have to be retyped but since the sig usually reads something like"1t po qd one tablet one tablet by mouth qd daily one tablet" it would be pointless

Wish epic had a reject feature to resend to physicians for clarifications & corrections rather than faxing, receiving a completely new e-Rx & having too much junk paperwork build up in the process

I wish all rx's had to be epresibed. It would cut down on errors. Much easier to verify the erx prescriptions
