Entering an Order in Avatar OE

Create Order section

• Expected Days Supply: The value in this field derives from the Default Fill Days Supply field in myAvatar PM's NCPDP System Defaults form. The system does not allow the default value for the Expected Days Supply to exceed 30. The value will default to 28.
• Quantity To Be Dispensed: This value reflects the amount of medication that is to be dispensed in the fill. This field will be populated with data returned from RxConnect.
• # of Refills Allowed: Enter the number of times this prescription may be refilled. This field is required for all pharmacy type orders. For outpatient orders, enter the values manually; values for inpatient orders default in the following manner:
  • For non-controlled substances, this field will default to the maximum value of "99" but can be edited to a smaller value.
  • For controlled substances C-III, C-IV and C-V, this field will default to the maximum value of "5" but can be edited to a smaller value.
  • For controlled substances C-I and C-II, this field will default to the required value of "0."
• Dispense As Written (DAW): This value reflects whether or not medication orders qualify for a generic substitution. This field will be set to No in OE but may be changed in RxConnect.

Renew/DC/Val. section

• Review Decision / Order Action: Select Renew.
• Display Order List/Select Order(s) to Review: Click this button to display a list of the client's orders.

Users may not create or renew orders if doing so would cause the order to exceed the predetermined maximum duration. Some of these fields are not strictly associated with an NCPDP payer, but are required for all pharmacy-type orders in OE to ensure that the necessary information is available in the event that the client is later assigned an NCPDP payer.
