PrognoCIS uses the Drug Database from First Data Bank (FDB), which has a comprehensive definition of generic/branded and dispensable drugs. A clinic can, however, choose not to use the FDB database. In this case, the clinic will have to define the drug names as well as their dispensable details. The admin-level property rx.drug.useFDB, when set to Off, allows the user to perform modifications on the Drug Master screen. If the property rx.drug.useFDB is set to Off and the Clinic Location is set to the US, then on running the monthly FDB Import Process, the property is turned On so that the user is not able to modify the standard FDB Drugs. Field Descriptions: Name: Enter the drug name. All drugs are primarily searched with this drug name. Rx Norm Code: Enter the Rx Norm Code for the given drug. RxNorm is a catalog of the standard names given to clinical drugs and drug delivery devices. The name of each drug is a compilation of its active ingredients, strength and form. Each combination, therefore, has a unique RxNorm name. Brand: Select the checkbox to add the drug to the branded drugs list box. Only InHouse: Select the checkbox to add the drug to the InHouse generic drugs list. Compound Drug: Select the checkbox to add the drug to the compound drugs list. Custom: Select the checkbox if the drug is to be displayed under the custom drug list. Beerslist: Select the checkbox if the drug is to be displayed under the Beerslist drug list. The Beers Criteria for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults, commonly called the Beers List, is a guideline for healthcare professionals to help improve the safety of prescribing medications for older adults. Dispensable Details Section: This table provides a list of dispensable drugs (Route + Strength + Dosage form) for the selected drug name. Specifications: Enter the drug specifications. Rx Code: Enter the Rx code for the drug. NDC Code: Enter the NDC code for the drug. Inactive: Select the checkbox to mark the drug as inactive.

Note: The property, allow.customdrug.toeRx if set to 'Y', allows users to send custom drugs via eRx depending upon their DEA class. Active: Select this checkbox if the drug has to be made visible. Action Buttons: Save: Click the Save button to save the record in PrognoCIS. Reset: Click the Reset button to reset the recently entered changes in the record before it is saved.
