What's New in Propel Rx 2.0 SP2 Postinstall 1

Enhancements

When the Dispense Pickup preference is set to Dispense and the patient’s notification channel is set to Patient App, Amjay, or SMS:

  • Prescriptions remain in the Pick Up/Delivery tile for three days after achieving a Picked Up status.

    The following prescriptions will not appear in the Pick Up/Delivery tile when POS integration is OFF:

    • Delivery prescriptions

    • Compliance Pack prescriptions

    • Prescriptions for drugs flagged as PFS

    • Prescriptions for drugs that have the Notifications flag OFF

  • During this three day period, pickup notifications can be sent using Rx Ready through the patient’s chosen communication channel.

  • The Pick Up button is disabled for prescriptions already marked as Picked Up.

Additional details:

  • If Auto-Send is ON, Rx Ready is disabled (existing behaviour). The pickup notification is sent automatically, and the prescription still remains in the tile for three days.

  • If Dispense Pickup is set to POS or Manual, prescriptions vacate the Pick Up/Delivery tile immediately upon achieving a Picked Up status, following existing logic.

Propel Rx now automatically replaces unsupported characters in drug names and directions with standard characters when sending Create and Dispense messages to the EHR.

Fixes

  • Refusing all prescriptions at once from the Batch Profile window should no longer trigger an error.

  • Inventory transfers from POS should no longer update the acquisition cost fields in the Drug Folders.

  • The PHN should no longer be cut off on the Refill Authorization Request form. For long pharmacy names, the name is now truncated with an ellipses (...) at the end.

  • When Auto Reconcile Owe is OFF and an Owe Balance is packaged for an item with a Re-Order Point of -1, the item should no longer be added the Order Pad if the On Hand exceeds the Re-Order Point.

  • When an Owe Balance is increased in the Packaging window, inventory should be added back to the On Hand.

Thermal Labels

  • Additional instructions for methadone prescriptions should now print for every Thermal Vial label, not just the first dose.

Half Labels

  • Duplicate methadone Half labels should no longer print for each dose.

  • The following fixes apply to pharmacies that received the Half and Daily Laser label upgrade.

    • When a pharmacy technician user processes a prescription using the Flu Injection module, the Administered by field on the immunization record should populate correctly with the linked pharmacist's name, not the pharmacy technician's name.

    • The trade name and strength should now print on the first line followed by the generic name without the strength on the second line of the Vial label, Hard Copy, and Official Receipt. This change was made to increase the size of the drug name.

      For New Brunswick pharmacies, strength and manufacturer code will continue to print with the generic name on the same line in accordance with regulatory requirements.

    • Long patient names should no longer be cut off on the Vial label.

    • The AU number should no longer be cut off on the Hard Copy.

    • If a patient is less than one year old, "mo" should be appended to their age on the Hard Copy.

    • A "*PC" indicator should no longer appear under pricing details on the Hard Copy.

    • For vacation supply prescriptions, the "days ago" value should now appear beside the last fill date on the Hard Copy.

    • A Fill Type of REAUTH instead of REFILL should now appear on the Hard Copy for refills from Holds.

    • The Pre-printed Line and Print Ready Time in Patient Care preferences should now be respected when enabled in the Half Label Preferences window.

    • Half labels should now print when a Hold prescription is refilled in a Data Entry only Workflow configuration.

  • Pickup notifications for the Patient App program should no longer be sent automatically to caregivers when Auto-Send is OFF.

  • When using the Rx Ready function, pickup notifications should now send to caregivers.

  • Changing pack sizes on a new or reauthorized prescription should refresh the TP Qty based on the TP Rules of the newly selected pack size.

  • Auto Refill prescriptions placed on Hold should now appear on the Workbench on the user specified date, not the current date.

  • In British Columbia, the word “Adapted” and the intervention code should now be retained for pharmacist extensions that are placed on Hold, refilled, refused, and refilled again.

  • In Alberta, prescriptions filled with more than 50 Detected Issues should no longer generate an MTS error.

  • The Packaging step should no longer be skipped when a full Owe Balance is rebilled.

  • Packaging can now be completed for an Owe Balance when both Digital Owe Balance and Auto Reconcile Owe are enabled and sufficient inventory has been allocated for the Owe Balance.
