Required Updates
Avatar eMAR 2022 Update 17
Product Update Form Description
Avatar eMAR is enhanced so that the "Give:" line within the 'Order Description' of certain pharmacy-type orders presents the 'Dose' both in terms of the dosage form and as an expression of strength. For example: "Give: 650 MG = 2 tablets every 6 hours, as needed" or "Give: 250 MG = 5 mL every 6 hours". This type of notation will be included when: 1) The 'Route of Administration' on the order is any of the following: "ORAL", "BUCCAL MUCOSA", "SUBLINGUAL", "GASTROSTOMY TUBE", "J-TUBE", or "TUBE FEED". 2) The 'Dosage Unit' ('Strength Unit') on the order does not contain either "%" or "-". ('Order Codes' for combination products list the strengths of the multiple active ingredients in the 'Strength Unit' field, separated by hyphens.) 3) The order was submitted from the Order Entry Console (Orders This Episode section) in "external pharmacy mode", or was not submitted in "external pharmacy mode" and the registry setting 'Use Pharmacy Fill Details For Order Description' is not set to "Y". (This type of notation will not be shown prior to the receipt of pharmacy fill details for a particular order, when pharmacy fill details are in use, because the pharmacy fill details can supply such a notation, and the pharmacy fill details can deviate from the original order, including the use of a different strength product.)
