Medi-Span Prior Adverse Reaction Class Retirements
Medi-Span is retiring a few PAR classes which can affect patients who have allergies linked to any of those PAR classes. The affected PAR classes that have multiple ingredients are:
00056 – Calcium Channel Blockers
00155 – Vitamin D Analogs
00209 – Red Dye
To meet the requirement from Medi-Span and to ensure the safety of all patients, a program change has been implemented in the pharmacy software to require the allergy class to be updated or changed to a specific ingredient allergy. If the pharmacy system detects a retired PAR class in a patient’s allergy profile when accessing the patient, the system will go directly to the PRIOR
ADVERSE REACTION MAINTENANCE screen and will provide a message with the retired class code identified.
It will then be the responsibility of the pharmacy personnel to confirm the appropriate updated allergy code(s)
for the patient before filling any new prescriptions for the patient. There are also 11 single ingredient allergy classes being retired. Because there is only one ingredient, the system will automatically switch affected patients from the retired
allergy class to the corresponding active ingredient. This will take place when the patient is accessed in the
pharmacy system. No action is required by the pharmacy for these one to one changes. The 11 single agent classes are:
00013 – Cimetidine
00104 – Valproic Acid and Related
00178 – Abacavir
00179 – Benzyl Alcohol
00186 – Efavirenz
00187 – Bupropion
00194 – Metoclopramide
00195 – Lithium
00197 – Cyclosporine
00224 – Isoniazid
00256 – Cobalt
With these changes, it would be prudent to review each patient’s allergies to confirm all allergies are up to date. Please contact FSI support if you have any questions about these changes.
