27 APRIL NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 999

Note

  • To be used where a rule set by Pharmac can not be checked either because of the limiting data we collect or that it needs an indication from the pharmacist.
  • Such cases will be specified in the Pharmaceutical Schedule. For example, to specify Diane35 Pharmcode X where used as an oral contraceptive, set [Patient Flag].

Programmer Note

  • This will permit rules to be implemented without continual changes to pharmacy software.

Pharmac Note

  • New rules will still need to be set in the Rules section of the Pharmac database and will still need to be programmed into the Pronet system. Therefore, before rules are implemented there must be suitable lead-time for the above to happen.

  • Also to ensure the integrity of the use of these flags, disciplines will need to be set and followed to ensure the correct flag or flag combination are used.

  • If this is implemented the mechanisms for use need to be worked out between Pharmac, HBL, and the Pronet developers.

  • Vendors have been notified by Pharmac that the flag must be used to indication on a Practitioner Supply Order that the Provider is using the pharmaceuticals provided in a rural area.

  • To specify that PSO is for use in a rural area set [Prescriber Flag] to Y.
