What's New in Propel Rx 1.3

Please see below for fixes and enhancements included in the Propel Rx 1.3 release.

Fixes

  • The following occurs when a central fill order is processed for a POS Product, and there is insufficient inventory in Propel Rx to fulfill the order:

    • If there is sufficient inventory in the POS, a stock transfer prompt should appear with the option to transfer inventory from the POS.

    • If there is insufficient inventory in the POS, the product is indicated with an Insufficient Inventory exception. No stock transfer from the POS will occur.

  • Performance has improved for loading historical data (i.e., prior to the Propel Rx upgrade) for central fill locations.

  • When a pack size is flagged as monitored and the Price Code is adjusted from C to P, you should be able to save the changes after entering the re-order parameters and adding inventory. Upon saving, the Price Code should not be disabled and the on-hand quantity should display correctly.

  • The prompt to enter an item number when saving a Drug Folder should only appear for monitored pack sizes that have no item numbers.

  • PFS Forms (i.e., Adaptation, Extension) should print automatically when the Print button is selected in the Form window.

  • When a group is copied, the Admin Times in the Schedule tab should also be copied over to the new Group Folder.

  • If a batched prescription is manually processed outside of the Batch Profile window (i.e., Workflow Workbench), duplicate labels should not print when the prescription is filled.

  • When an authorization request is sent via PrescribeIT® from Rx Detail, you should be able to detail the Authorization Request Response from the PrescribeIT® Messages window and acknowledge it without errors.

  • If a prescription with refills remaining is reauthorized, a piggyback prompt should appear upon filling the prescription. The prompt should not appear if the prescription is rejected, queued, and then processed again.

  • The following occurs when the MI intervention code is added/removed manually or via the Rx Detail prompt:

    • Add MI - the cost of the prescription is recalculated using the Acquisition Cost of the drug.

    • Remove MI - the cost of the prescription is recalculated using the Eligibility Price of the drug.

  • When scheduling a batch, the Ready Time in the Batch Profile window should match the Scheduled Date and Time selected in the Batch Preferences window.

  • If a prescription is refilled from the patient's Profile, added to the Workbench, and then processed, a Duplicate Checking prompt should not appear when Process is selected in the Intake window.

  • Prescriptions that are due on the current day should display in red on the Workflow Workbench if the Ready Time has passed.

  • For mixture prescriptions, the quantities that print on the initial fill and owe balance vial and privacy labels should no longer reflect the sum of the individual ingredients. Instead, the quantities should reflect what was packaged and owed for the overall mixture.

  • The Product Selection field in the Rx Detail Third Party tab should reset when a prescription is reauthorized. If a prescription is rebilled, the field will reset if the QA or Drug is changed.

  • Mixtures that have a Fixed Unit Cost and Alternative PIN entered in the Mixture Folder can now be filled successfully in prescriptions. This includes methadone prescriptions filled using a methadone Mixture Folder with or without carries.

  • The Owe Balance window should not appear upon filling a mixture prescription if there is enough monitored ingredients on hand to fill the prescription.

  • If a prescription is reauthorized from the Batch Profile window and then refused from the same window, a prompt should appear asking if repeats should be removed.

  • Your pharmacy's PID number should display on the bottom left corner of the Propel Rx application window.

  • For half labels, the dialogue section should print on the hard copy for refill and reauthorized prescriptions.

    • An Invoice # column has been added which displays the invoice number for the item.

      • P.O.# - purchase order number

        This field can be edited before reconciling a purchase order.

  • The Apply step for reconciling a purchase order has been removed. To reconcile a purchase order, highlight the purchase order in the Available Purchase Orders section and select the Reconcile button. The purchase order will move to the Reconciled section. Functionality that occurs after reconciling a purchase order will remain the same. Inventory will be added for the items indicated in the Invoice Details section. The Auto-Reconcile Exceptions report will print, if applicable. A re-order prompt will appear, if applicable.

    Purchase orders must be reconciled one at a time.

  • A new button has replaced the Ready Time button on the Workflow Workbench. It is available for Retail and Compliance queues and all Workflow queues. This button can also be found on the Parked Rx tile. The options available from this button depend on whether prescriptions are highlighted on the prescription grid:

    • If one or more prescriptions are highlighted, a dropdown list of Ready Times are available for selection. Once a Ready Time is chosen, all highlighted prescriptions are updated to that chosen time. The chosen time will display in the Rx Detail Information Bar, Dialogue tile, Pick Up/Delivery tile, and Patient Centre (e-Verify, Dialogue, Pick Up/Delivery).

      Ready Times cannot be assigned to owe balances. If several prescriptions including an owe balance are highlighted in the Parked Rx tile, the Ready Time assignment will not affect the owe balance. If only owe balances are highlighted, the Ready Time window appears as described in the next point.

    • If no prescriptions are highlighted, the Ready Time window is displayed. Modifications to the default Ready Time can be made in this window.

  • Three new Ready Times have been added:

    • Priority - reflects a 10 minute Ready Time. Prescriptions with this Ready Time are given the highest priority and appear at the top of the Workbench prescription grid. This option is available from the new Workbench Ready Time button, Intake, Refill Ready Time, and Flu/COVID-19 Injection windows. It is not available for selection in the Rx Detail Information Bar but can display there if previously selected from the aforementioned locations.

    • Waiting - reflects a 10 minute Ready Time. Prescriptions with this Ready Time are prioritized below Priority prescriptions but above overdue prescriptions. Similar to Priority, a Waiting Ready Time can be selected from the new Workbench Ready Time button, Intake, Refill Ready Time, and Flu/COVID-19 Injection windows. It is not available for selection in the Rx Detail Information Bar but can display there if previously selected from the aforementioned locations.

    • Specify Time - opens the Ready Time window, allowing you to specify a specific date and time as the Ready Time. Specify Time can be selected from the new Workbench Ready Time button. It is not available for selection in the Intake or Flu/COVID-19 Injection windows.

  • When there are multiple prescriptions with a Ready Time of Priority or Waiting, the prescriptions are sorted on the Workbench according to when the Ready Time was assigned.

  • The default Ready Time has been set to 20 minutes.

  • The default Ready Time will be set to 20 minutes upon upgrade from PharmaClik Rx to Propel Rx. If upgrading from Propel Rx 1.2, the default Ready Time will retain the current setting, unless it was set to 10 minutes, in which case it will be updated to 15 minutes.

  • The exact Ready Time will print on the half label From Your Pharmacist section for prescriptions assigned a Priority or Waiting Ready Time. For example, if you assigned a Waiting Ready Time at 12:00 for a prescription, 12:10 will print on the half label.

  • The pharmacist's initials now display on the Compliance Blister Packaging and Compliance Dosett Grid reports.

    The initials do not display for 8.5"x10" Compliance Blister reports.
