Note that this displayed 'Preferred Pharmacy' is not necessarily the pharmacy to which any of the prescriptions were sent when the Discharge Med Reconciliation was signed.

Update 64 Details \| User Acceptance Tests OE NX - NADEAN The Order Entry Console (Home Medications and Discharge Med Reconciliation sections, and Orders This Episode and Admission Med Reconciliation sections when in "external pharmacy mode") is enhanced to support recent changes to NADEAN regulatory requirements. Until recently, some medications (those containing buprenorphine) could be prescribed only by practitioners who had a NADEAN. (The NADEAN for the 'Ordering Practitioner' is stored within and supplied by OrderConnect during the ordering process.) Recent regulatory changes now allow buprenorphine-containing medications to be prescribed by practitioners who do not have a NADEAN, if the medication is being prescribed for pain rather than for addiction treatment or detox. In the Order Entry Console, all such medications now require the user to indicate a 'Reason' for the order. The prescriber does not need to have a NADEAN in order to use "eRx" for such medications if the 'Reason' ('Reason Code' or 'Reason Text') contains the word "pain" (case-insensitive). Note: A myAvatar Client Update or upgrade must also be installed to fully enable these changes. Value Added: Order Entry has been enhanced to support recent NADEAN regulatory requirements	Topics • Order Entry Console • NX
