The PECS application, through a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), allows VHA pharmacists and clinicians to research and request custom changes to Drug-Drug Interaction, Drug Pairs, Dose Range, Duplicate Therapy, and Professional Monograph records, controlling access through a role based authorization. VHA Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) periodically (as needed in support of VA procedures and priorities) prepare, review and approve the customizations, which result in VA Custom drug data, which will supersede or enhance the industry standard FDB-drug data. The purpose of this software product release is to replace the current version, PECS v2.1, with an enhanced version, PECS v2.2, which provides functional enhancements to the Dose Range, Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI), Professional Monograph (PM), Drug Pairs, and Custom Updates concepts. PECS v2.2 also provides FDB Comparison Reports for the Duplicate Therapy (DT), DDI and Drug Pairs concepts. It enables a user for perform Record Locking, whereby Detail pages display in read-only mode upon retrieval and all concepts, except for Single Drug Pairs, can be edited only after launching edit mode. The PECS application performs the following major business functions: Impacts to Pharmacists and Clinicians: * As a Requestor, pharmacists and clinicians can create a customization request, modify their own requests, and run, save, and export queries. * As an Approver, Pharmacy Benefits Management personnel are able to create, review, approve, modify, delete or reject customization requests, run, save, and export queries, and run reports. An approver can review, but cannot approve their own requests.
