Cerner Upgrade – Changes to the ECG Viewer
The biggest change with the new ECG viewer is that acronyms (ex. “/afib” or “/ns”) have been replaced with an auto-complete function that will populate a drop-down list as you type:
Code Upgrade: Earliest Fill Date
With the upgrade on November 16th, the ‘Earliest Fill Date’ field will be made available on all controlled prescriptions where previously it was only available on CII drugs. Using this field on a CIII-CV drug will cause the prescription to fail with a digital signature failure message sent back to the provider’s Message Center inbox or pool.
To mitigate the issue, we have added the note ‘(CII Only)’ to the field to help prompt providers that it should only be used on CII drugs.
After the NCPDP eRx uplift on December 9th, this field will become fully functional for all controlled prescriptions and the note will be removed.
