Release Information:
Delta version, full release February 15, 2022 (Released February 16, 2022)
The old MediSpan Clinical databases have been discontinued
There have been new functions developed and implemented for your software to utilize the new drug clinical databases from MediSpan. This means patient allergies, Rx dose check, Rx cross-check, and patient drug-disease monitoring now have more in-depth features. This also means the way you add, amend, review, or delete has changed. Please be patient while learning the new processes.
The Integrated Patient Education Leaflets (IPEL) will soon have an option to reduce the point size and duplex (print front and back on the paper). Currently, the duplexing is working for some, while not others. This issue is currently being resolved by FSI developers.
The database changes are required by MediSpan and have been in development for almost two years at FSI. The conversion process has been intense and we are lucky to have understanding customers like each of you.
THANK YOU!

Software Updates/Changes
1. UTAH – CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE REPORTING (PMP) – RX ORIGIN REQUIRED
This program has for years been transmitting script origin (written, telephone, fax, etc), but now an exception will be noted if this item is not valid.
2. FLORIDA – CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE REPORTING (PMP) – DOC STATE LICENSE REQUIRED
This program has been transmitting the prescriber’s state license # for a long time. However, now if it is missing, an exception will be noted.
3. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE REPORTING (PMP) – MULTI-STATE REQUIRED ‘ZERO’ REPORTS.
IF using AUTOMATIC REPORTING (cron) for individual multiple states, be aware that some states require a PMP report for ZERO scripts. In this case, in the ONLINE SWITCH AMENDMENTS (keystrokes from the main menu: 3-7-9-3-2-<code>), set “Use Proc CTRL#” to “Z” (for zero report).
4. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE REPORTING (PMP) – REDUCED ID LENGTH REQUIRED FOR MAIL ORDER
If a dispensing’s ‘Relation’ is set to ‘MO’ (Mail Order), the pickup ID can be 3 characters or more. For all other relation types, the pickup ID must be at least 5 characters.
5. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE REPORTING (PMP) – EMERGENCY TELEPHONE RX ORIGIN INDICATOR
In addition to Rx Origins of ‘W‘ritten, ‘T‘elephone, ‘E‘lectronic, ‘F‘ax, and ‘P‘harmacy (transferred in), ‘*‘ is the indicator for Emergency Telephone. This type of origin will be transmitted as an origin of ‘telephone’ for online NCPDP claims.
6. DELIVERY SYSTEM – SEQUENCES NOT USED – LTCF CODE LENGTH EXTENDED

Patient item, “38. Pat Age” can be edited (<F3> Edit Item) to set the “Variant” to “D”. This will calculate the patient’s age at the date of dispensing (for a court case for example).
