The project objective is to allow pharmacy staff to retrieve the FDA Medication Guide for prescriptions that contain FDA approved information that can help patients avoid serious adverse events. The FDA requires that Medication Guides be included with certain prescribed drugs and biological products when the Agency determines that: . Certain information is necessary to prevent serious adverse effects . Patient decision-making should be advised by information about a known serious side effect with a product, or . Patient adherence to directions for the use of a product is essential to its effectiveness. The features in the FDA Medication Guides project are being delivered in incremental releases. This patch is part of the Increment 2 release. The features included in this release are: . Establishment of a Server Repository for FDA Medication Guides within the VA network. . Updates to 900+ entries in the VA PRODUCT file (#50.68) to store the corresponding FDA Medication Guide document name will be provided via the NDF Monthly Data Update patches. . Introduction of a PC based Java software component to enable the automatic retrieval of an FDA Medication Guide from within VistA. The software does not require any direct user interaction. It works as a bridge between VistA and the PC where it is installed. The software identifies a request from VistA for a specific FDA Medication Guide and automatically retrieves it from the Server Repository and displays to the user via the Internet Explorer browser. . Introduction of a new option called Display FDA Medication Guide [PSN MED GUIDE] to the National Drug File V. 4.0 application for retrieving and displaying the FDA Medication Guide for a specific VA Product. . Introduction of new functionality to the Patient Prescription Processing [PSO LM BACKDOOR] option in the Outpatient Pharmacy V. 7.0 application for retrieving and displaying the FDA Medication Guide for a specific prescription.
