IV Labels

All editing is active whenever you are on the screen.  Any change will be saved back to the
database for you. You may use the screen box for editing label or click on the field that says
MEMO for a more extensive text editor.  Once you have highlighted MEMO, press   
+  h  to enter the editor.  There are help screens for your use inside the text editor. 
To leave the text editor press 
   +  u. Please note: you will not see the changes made in the text editor until
you tab into the label screen box.

? Please note that the text will have automatic word wrapping. You should only use the
b key or e key when you want to force a HARD RETURN at the end
of that line. Just remember that this is actually a mini word processor within the labeling
program. You can use some of the common functions of most word processors.

Some of the more common word processing functions include:


right arrow    Moves to the end of the current line
left arrow     Moves to the start of the current line
page down      Moves down on the screen
page up    Moves up on the screen

changed. It will also assign a new prescription number. If you want to use the same Rx
number, just type over the assigned Rx number. Please note that the newly assigned Rx
number will not be re-assigned.

?Save commonly used labels under an Rx# that will help you easily find the label (you
can use letters and/or numbers).  For example, save  Rocephin 1 gm/100 CC D5W under
Rx# ROC01 when you copy the Rx, the number will be erased and you can save the Rx
under the actual Rx#.

PRINT
This opens a sub-screen to select printing options.

DELETE
This will delete the label you are working on right now.  You are asked one last time before
the delete takes place.  Once deleted it cannot be recovered.

Prepack - Unit Dose

The unit dose screen is divided into 2 main screen sections.



The top section contains information about the drug, 
manufacturer, lot number, etc. 
This information is maintained in the master medication listing.




The bottom section of the screen contains information 
about the pre-packing of the drug into unit dose packages





                           TOP SCREEN

DRUG, STRENGTH
You have 2 lines for entering the medication description. The first line is the data that will be
indexed for future reports. A sample entry might be as follows

Prozac 20 mg
Fluoxetine


DOSAGE FORM
Use the Alt key plus the letter to designate the dosage form. If you choose Other, a text field
will open to allow for entry of other dosage forms.

MANUFACTURER, MFG. LOT NUMBER, MFG. EXPIRATION DATE
This is the next data to be entered. The above data  will be saved in the master medication
listing. This allows you to save this information for use on later pre-packing operations. This
data can also be up-dated as you receive new stock bottles.

? The first 5 letters of the manufacturer's name will print on the unit dose pre-pack label.
You may want to use abbreviations in this field. For example; use GL for Goldline Labs.

Once you have entered the above information, it is saved into a master medication list. You
will be able to use this information each time you pre-pack a medication. For example; you
have a stock bottle of 1,000 tablets of Aspirin 81 mg tablets, and you usually pre-pack 100
tablets each week. When you need to prepare another batch next week, the basic information 
about the stock bottle will already be in the data base. If you purchase a new stock bottle,
just tab to the fields that need to be changed.

FACILITY LOT NUMBER

You have 2 options for facility lot numbers.

Option 1 will have the system automatically add the next sequential lot number. If you wish
to use this option, you will have to enter the starting lot number under the MAINTENANCE
function, Starting facility lot number. 

Option 2 will have you add the lot number. If you wish to use this option, you will have to
enter the starting lot number under the MAINTENANCE function. Enter the Starting
facility lot number as 0 (zero).


EXPIRES
This expiration date is calculated using the FDA/USP approved formula;

1/4 of the time remaining until the manufacturer's expiration date, to a maximum of 6
months. 

Please note, the expiration date, as well as all other fields may be over-written at the
Pharmacist's discretion.

NO. PER CONTAINER
The default value is 1 dosage form per container. 

NO. PREPARED
Enter the number of packages prepared.

DATE PREPARED
The default value is the current date.

STARTING NUMBER
This feature prints sequential numbers on the pre-pack label. This is very useful for
preparing strips of unit dose controlled drugs. This feature requires the unit dose labels with
2 labels across. If you do not want sequential numbering, have the starting number be 0
(zero).

The sequential number is printed to the right of the facility lot number.

? Your sequential labels will be printed into 2 strips with sequential numbers on each
strip. For example; if you request 10 unit dose labels, starting with number 1, printed in
ascending order, your labels would print as follows (note: the sequential number does not
actually print in bold as shown in the examples below):

     This is a universal label program for meeting your miscellaneous label needs. The label
     setup is similar to that found in the IV Label program.
     
     This program is also a mini word processor which will allow for automatic word wrap if the
     label line exceeds the width of the label being used. It also allows the label to overflow onto

     The reports feature allows for the following reports
     
     1.      Patient Profile Report
     
     This report details IV Labels for the time period selected by the user.
     
     Please note; if you leave the name field blank, it will print the report for all IV labels in the
     system, including those IV labels entered as stock labels to be copied into patient profiles
     (for example; stock TPN labels).
     
     Print Options:
     
     You can print to the printer, to the screen or to a text file to be used by another word
     processing program.
     
     If you select print to file, a second box will open up asking for the file name. Enter the 8
     character file name. For Example, to save patient's Sample, Ima, as a file titled SAMPLE_I
     you would enter the following
     
     SAMPLE_I 
     
     The text file will be saved with the above name in the C:\propharm directory.
     
     2.     Prescription List
     
     This is a report of prescriptions filled from the dates entered into the selected fields.
     
     3.     Unit Dose Reports
     
     This report gives you 18 different options for extracting and sorting data.
     
     14 of these options are fields where you will enter a value FROM one criteria TO another
     criteria.
     
     For example; to select all drugs from A to Dilantin you would enter A in the first block and
     DILANTIN in the second box for Drug Line 1.
     
     If you want to use all records in a field, just leave the boxes blank and it will extract all data
     in these fields.
          
     To find an exact match for a field, enter the value to be extracted in both the FROM and TO
     fields. For example; suppose that you needed to find all Lilly products that you have pre-packed
by someone with the initials CBV from January 01, 1993 to May 14, 1993.
     
     Enter the following as your selection criteria:
     
     
     Drug line 1     
     
     TO

     Sort Options:
     
     You can have the report printed by 2 date sort options, sorted by the facility expiration date
     or by the date prepared. 
     
     4.     Prepack Log Sheets
     
     We have included a sample log sheet at the end of this manual. Depending on your
     institution's individual and state requirements, the following procedure may provide all of
     your record keeping requirements:
     
     1.     Remove a sample label and place it in the next box on the Pre-Pack Log sheet. 
     2.     Have the person preparing and person checking the work sign or initial in the box  to
     the right of the sample label. If there is no sample label available, write in the lot    number.
     3.     Print a full report, as outlined above, as per your institution's individual policies &     
procedures.

     From time to time it may be necessary to upgrade or change some parts of your program. 
     This option will be used to receive program changes sent directly from Pro-pharm, Inc.
     
     RE-INDEX DATA
     If the order of the data seems to be out of correct sort order, you may select this option to
     resort the database.
     
     COMPANY SETUP
     Use this area if you have any changes to your company name, address, city and phone
     number.
     
     There are 2 fields that cannot be changed by you unless you first contact Pro-Pharm's
     customer support services. These are the FACILITY CODE and FACILITY CHECK
     VALUE
     
     The FACILITY CODE is a 5 letter designation for your hospital. For example; South Texas
     Ambulatory Surgery Hospital might choose the facility code of STASH. The facility code
     prints on each unit dose label.
     
     The FACILITY CHECK VALUE is a computer check value assigned to your copy of the
     software.
     
     
     
               ? DO NOT CHANGE THE FACILITY CODE 
                  OR THE FACILITY CHECK VALUE 
            OR YOUR SOFTWARE WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION.
                                 
     
     
          
     SYSTEM SETUP
     Most printers use LPT1 for printing.  You may set LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1 or COM2. 
     If the label does not print, you will have to reset for the correct port.
     
     Your modem will probably be set on COM2.  You may change that option on the second
     line if your modem is on another port or if you do not have a modem.
     
     
     STARTING FACILITY LOT NUMBER:  If you want the system to automatically print
     sequential lot numbers, enter the next lot number here. If you want to assign your own lot
     numbers, enter a 0 (zero) in this field.
     
     STARTING FACILITY prescription NUMBER:  If you want the system to
     automatically print sequential prescription numbers, enter the next lot number here. If you
     want to assign your own prescription numbers, enter a 0 (zero) in this field.
          
     
                          LABEL SETUP
                                 
     
     
     Vertical Size   
     This is the number of printable lines from the top to the bottom of the label. Please remember
     that this is also a function of the Lines Per Inch that you will define below.
     
     Please Note: The label programs require the following minimum label heights:
     
     
     LABEL PROGRAM  MINIMUM LABEL HEIGHT     MIN LABEL WIDTH IN
                    IN LINES                 INCHES AT 10 CPS

     
     
     IV LABELS      11                       3
     UNIT DOSE      5                        16 *
     OTHER LABELS        NONE
     
        
     * Unit dose labels less than 16 characters wide ( 1.75 inches ) will still print, however some
     of the first 2 lines may not print all of the right hand side characters on the label.
     
     Horizontal Size 
     This is the number of printable characters across one label. Please remember this is also a
     function of the Font Size that you define below. For most printers, Normal font is 10
     characters per inch and Compressed font is 15 characters per inch.
     
     Lines Per Inch  
     6 lines per inch will give normal spacing found on most printers. 8 lines per inch will allow
     for more lines on the label, but it may be harder to read.
     
     Left Margin
     The number of characters that the left margin should be indented. 
     For most labels, this value should = 0
     
     Number Across   
     This is the number of labels that are in one horizontal row.
     
     For example: HCL unit dose pre-pack label # HCL 6115 is a 2 across label while HCL #
     24017 is a 1 across label. This is also referred to as a "two up" or "one up" label
     respectively.
     
     Horizontal Gutter       
     This is the number of characters between labels ( from left to right ). If there is only one label
     across, this value should be zero.
          
     Vertical Gutter 
     This is the number of lines between the bottom of one label and the start of the next label.
     
     For most labels with a small gap between the bottom of one label and the start of the next
     label, this value = 1
     
     For labels that only have perforations, but no gap, between the labels, this value is 0. You
     can set this value to 1, if you do not want to  have the print come too close to the
     perforations.
     
     Some facilities use IV labels or other labels with a pre-printed header. When using this type
     of label, increase the vertical gutter to allow for the number of lines that the pre-printed
     header takes on the label.
     
     Font Size       
     Choose normal or compressed font.
     
     
     ? You may have one label that you would like to format in different ways. First format
     and test the label printing. Next copy the label setup data or use your print screen button to
     print a hard copy of the label setup.
     
     When you add the second setup for the same label, just give it another name.
