Avatar eMAR 2022 Update 25
Product Update Description
The registry setting 'Enable enhanced "Give:" line in eMAR 'Order Description'' is added. This registry setting will control the now-existing functionality to update the "Give:" line within the eMAR 'Order Description' of certain pharmacy-type orders to present the 'Dose' both in terms of the dosage form and as an expression of strength.  Please refer to the registry setting help message for details on when a pharmacy-type order is eligible for this functionality.  Note:  The functionality to enhance the "Give:" line in the eMAR 'Order Description' was introduced via Avatar eMAR 2022 Update 25.  Avatar eMAR 2023 Update 3 provides this new registry setting to allow this functionality to be disabled.  In addition, the following issues are resolved:  1) The enhanced "Give:" phrase might show the same 'Dose Unit' for both parts of the expression (dosage form and strength).  Prior to the installation of this Update, this situation could occur if the 'Dose Unit' dictionary (Order Entry Tabled Files, Data Element# 10270) has the 'Type of Measure' extended attribute incorrectly defined.  2) Decimal-only dose quantity values might be displayed without a leading zero in the enhanced "Give:" line.  3) Dose quantity values might be calculated out to a large number of decimal positions in the enhanced "Give:" line.  Such calculated values are now limited to 3 decimal positions for expressions of dose form, and to 4 decimal positions for expressions of strength or volume.
