============================================================================= Run Date: AUG 29, 2025 Designation: PREN*4*3 Package : PREN - PHARMACY PRODUCT SYS-NATL Priority: Mandatory Version : 4 SEQ #2 Status: Released Compliance Date: SEP 29, 2025 ============================================================================= Subject: MEDICATION ORDER CHECK HEALTHCARE APPLICATION (MOCHA) 3.0 Category: - Informational Description: ============ The Pharmacy Reengineering (PRE) Project provided innovative enhancements to Clinical Decision Support (CDS) within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Medication order checks are currently accomplished through the synergistic functionality of multiple applications, including Medication Order Check Healthcare Application (MOCHA), Pharmacy Enterprise Customization System (PECS), Pharmacy Product System-National (PPS-N), and Data Update (DATUP). PPS-N is a Web-based application that provides the ability to manage pharmacy-specific data across the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) enterprise ensuring that all facilities are using the same base data for their operations. 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. PPS-N performs the following major business functions: add/edit/approve medication and supply information, synchronize Enterprise Product List data with the legacy National Drug Formulary data, output reports, process First Databank (FDB) additions/updates, and search FDB. VHA, Patient Care Services (PCS), and Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) has requested the MOCHA PGX team to add the PGX eligible and PGX suppress fields to the VA product, orderable item, ingredient screen and NDF process file. ****** Please note, this informational patch is release 4 in a series of releases to include PGx fields. For this release, PGX PPSN version will be deployed to production. ****** EHRM Impact Statement: ---------------------- This patch should have no EHRM impact, and can be installed at all sites, including EHRM converted sites. ****** This is an informational patch ONLY. ****** ****** There is NO install to be done by sites. ****** Files & Fields Associated: File Name (Number) Field Name (Number) New/Modified/Deleted ------------------ ------------------- -------------------- Not Applicable (N/A) Forms Associated: Form Name File Number New/Modified/Deleted --------- ----------- -------------------- N/A Mail Groups Associated: Mail Group Name New/Modified/Deleted --------------- -------------------- N/A Options Associated: Option Name Type New/Modified/Deleted ----------- ---- -------------------- N/A Protocols Associated: Protocol Name New/Modified/Deleted ------------- -------------------- N/A Security Keys Associated: Security Key Name ----------------- N/A Templates Associated: Template Name Type File Name (Number) New/Modified/Deleted ------------- ---- ------------------ -------------------- N/A Remote Procedures Associated: Remote Procedure Name New/Modified/Deleted --------------------- -------------------- N/A Parameter Definitions Associated: Parameter Name New/Modified/Deleted -------------- -------------------- N/A Additional Information: Blood Bank Team Coordination: ---------------------------- N/A New Service Requests (NSRs): ---------------------------- N/A Patient Safety Issues (PSIs): ----------------------------- N/A Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview: Problem: -------- N/A Resolution: ----------- N/A Test Sites: ---------- User Acceptance Testing (UAT) will be completed by the Business Office, Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM).
