It allows approved national VA personnel to easily, quickly, and safely manage the VA National Formulary which directs which products (such as medications and supplies) are to be purchased and used by the VA hospital system. The PPS-N application performs the following major business functions: * Add/edit/approve medication and supply information * Synchronize the PPS-N data with the legacy National Drug File (NDF) Management System (NDFMS) data * Output various reports * Process additions and updates from First DataBank (FDB) * Search for and add drug information from First DataBank In addition to synchronizing PPS-N with the NDFMS system, the PPS-N application also interfaces with the VA Enterprise Terminology Services (VETS) system (for Standard Medication Route information) and with the VA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) system (for pricing data). The purpose of this software product release is to replace the current version, PPS-N v1.0.0, with an enhanced version, PPS-N v1.0.01, which contains fixes for eleven remedy tickets.
