Configuring the Medication Administration Module in Vocera Edge Clinical Manager

Configuring General Settings

Configuring Clinical Settings
Clinical Settings provides users with the ability to configure Clinical Checks, Drug Indications/Side Effects, and First Dose Education for their facility.

Formulary Approval Tool (FAT)
The Formulary Approval Tool provides a way for users to review and approve any newly added formulary items and make necessary updates that could not be populated via the interface. It provides for an external formulary and the Vocera Edge formulary to be more in sync. Medications that are visible in the FAT will not qualify for use until they have been "Approved."

Master Drug File
The Vocera Edge System Master Drug File should mirror the Pharmacy Information System Formulary. It is also where barcodes, NDCs, clinical prompts assignments, and numerous functional and clinical settings are defined at the formulary item level.

Generic Equivalency Groups (GEG)
Situations sometimes occur where a caregiver needs to fulfill the dose of an ordered medication with a different strength of the same medication. For example, an order for Furosemide 40mg Tablet might be fulfilled by scanning two Furosemide 20mg tablets.

SIG Codes
The Clinical Manager allows you to set up a unique SIG code to correspond with each SIG code in the pharmacy information system.

Allergy Mapping
When a patient has an allergy, the allergy information is entered into the hospital’s EHR system. The Clinical Manager receives this information through its interface to the EHR.
