b) Most NDC records are initially created from third-party data
d) You can't verify a medication order without an NDC

ERX
Which type of record (ERX or NDC) controls:
Which Order Composer Configuration (OCC) to use (What fields appear in the Order Composer and
which fields are required)
ERX
Which type of record (ERX or NDC) controls:
The Order Name
(The name that appears in the Orders activity, on the MAR, and on labels)
ERX
Which type of record (ERX or NDC) controls:
The default frequency and route for an order (Also, the buttons and available choices for each)
NDC
Which type of record (ERX or NDC) controls:
How much the hospital paid for the medication (Which affects how much they'll charge for it)
By plugging in a medication list record (an EFY record) in the Medication List field of the pharmacy
record.
How do you define which medications can be dispensed from a pharmacy?
, If you check the Use PRN par level to calculate the number of doses to dispense check box, the PRN
par level will be used to dispense doses. If you leave this box unchecked, you will get one dose when
first and cart doses are generated.
What setting in a Pharmacy (PHR) record controls the number of doses to dispense for PRN orders?
In the Hospital record in Hyperspace, enter your central pharmacy record in the Main Pharmacy field.
How do you designate a pharmacy as the Main Pharmacy?
The central pharmacy EFY record contains every medication that is dispensed in your hospital. This
EFY record (like all EFY records) defines which NDCs are physically stocked and dispensed for each ERX
record.
Name two purposes that the central pharmacy Med List (EFY) record serves.
A multi-dose package should be dispensed only once automatically after it is ordered and verified.
Any redispenses will be requested manually. A single-dose package should automatically dispense a
new package for each dose due.
How should you dispense a multi-dose package differently from a single-dose package?
In the medication (ERX) record, you must enter "yes" in the Package contains multiple doses (single
patient) field.
What must you do in Epic to force a package to dispense only once automatically?
Dispense (first dose), PRN Par Dispense (first dose) and Redispense are a few.
Name three actions that can generate label printing.
False. It will print for ANY medication when that action is triggered, regardless of dispense code.
True or False: If you leave the Dispense Code column blank for an action in the Label routing table,
that action will never cause any labels to print.
False. In System Definitions, Unit Dose is the default Dispense Code. Therefore, in each unit dose ERX
record, you can leave Dispense Code blank.
True or False: You must assign a Dispense Code to every medication (ERX) on your central pharmacy
medication list.
You want to indicate "yes" to Group? when only one label should print regardless of how many doses
are being dispensed for an order at that time. In other words, grouping labels causes all of the doses
to be represented by a single label.
What is the purpose of the Group? column?
A cart is where the pharmacy techs take all the medications needed for a particular period of time,
prepare them and then put them on a cart for delivery to patients on the floor.
Define a cart.
