This page reflects changes made in VetView 1.6.5 and is not applicable to earlier versions.
The Fill Info tab contains several text settings that you can customize within VetView.
These include the custom Drug Info sheets and Auxiliary Labels (pulled in to product settings and generic settings), the patient status codes on prescriptions, and prescription "quick text" shortcuts for any internally used shorthand.
This page is where you can add in Drug Info Sheets and Auxiliary Labels for your prescriptions.
The Drug Info Sheet is the insert that will be printed out with the label to go home with the client. While they should always be attached to the relevant generic or product, the actual printing of them is optional in product setup and at the point of fill.
Auxiliary labels are the optional tags that can be placed on the packaging, with the option to print them directly on the prescription labale both on product setup or at the point of fill.
Click on Add to create a new sheet or label.
The Name is the key word by which you will be able to search for the label or the drug sheet.
The Value of a Label should match the physical sticker that you will place on the external packaging. For a drug info Sheet, this should be the complete insert text that will be attached to the product that is being issued to a client for take home.
The option of whether to include the label or drug info sheet by default is set up at the generic level or the product level, not at the point of creation on this tab.
The Patient Status Codes are the sort order on your Pharmacy Queue. The student or clinician will set this at the point of request, and include any pertinent information (e.g. for Going Home, a time of 3:00 PM may be manually entered as the comment.)
These can also be color coded to help you visualize them on your queue.
Note that the prescription status is different from the patient status, and the prescription statuses are hard coded and cannot be changed.
These statuses can also have their sort order customized, depending on how your pharmacy prioritizes the prescriptions to be filled. Click on Move Up and Move Down to adjust priority.
To add a new status, click on New. While you can use any color in the list to help sort your queue, we strongly recommend sticking to pastel colors otherwise the text may be difficult to read.
Click on Save to add the new status.
If you have clinicians who learned to write prescriptions with common short hand terms, the Prescription Quick Texts allows you to assign these common shortcuts over to the expanded definition associated with them.
This will prevent your pharmacy staff from having to manually rewrite these instructions on every prescription.
To add a new shorthand text, click on Add and enter the value that is used by your clinicians as well as the correct interpretation of that value.
Another method of preventing confusing is to help your clinicians set up the most commonly prescribed courses of drugs as Drug Profiles on the product setup page. The shorthand texts will also be read and translated on the profiles. Inactive Quick Texts will not be picked up by the profiles or by the prescriptions requests.
