WILLOW IP ADMIN RX305/405 FINAL PAPER 2025
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔You want to indicate "yes" to Group? when only one label should print regardless of
how many doses are being dispensed for an order at that time. In other words, grouping
labels causes all of the doses to be represented by a single label. - ✔✔What is the
purpose of the Group? column?
✔✔A cart is where the pharmacy techs take all the medications needed for a particular
period of time, prepare them and then put them on a cart for delivery to patients on the
floor. - ✔✔Define a cart.
✔✔A batch is where the pharmacy techs take all the medications needed for a
particular period of time and prepare them at once. These medications may be
delivered any number of ways; via runner, via pneumatic tube, etc. They do not
necessarily go onto a cart for delivery. - ✔✔Define a batch.
✔✔In Rx Admin > System Definitions. It's possible to override the cart group from
system definitions in the ERX record; however this is not commonly done. - ✔✔Where
do you generally set the Cart Group for a medication? Where can you override that
setting if needed?
✔✔In the Time field you enter in the time of day when doses from the cart are first due
to be administered to the patient. This represents the interval of doses due for the cart. -
✔✔Explain the Time field in the Cart schedule section of a cart record. What does it
represent?
✔✔False. If you change the cart's schedule at the wrong time, you will lose doses from
the cart. Always ask your Technical Services representative before making changes to
carts in a live production system. - ✔✔Labor Day is coming up. You need to temporarily
change your cart's schedule. True or false: You can change the cart's schedule any
time before Labor Day to make this adjustment.
✔✔Package (NDC) - ✔✔A Pharmacy (PHR) record's Medication List (EFY) record tells
the system which medications can be dispensed from there.
The Medication List (EFY) record also determines which specific _______ will be
dispensed from that pharmacy.
✔✔False. The hospital's central pharmacy is the "dispense location of last resort." -
✔✔True or False: If a medication is not on your central pharmacy's medication list, the
system won't dispense the medication from there.
✔✔The Package field will be blank. A pharmacist will have to manually select a
package to verify the order. - ✔✔What happens if a medication is dispensed from your
, central pharmacy, but it isn't on the central pharmacy's medication list? What field is
missing?
✔✔C) The medication has to be on BOTH lists for Epic to consider dispensing from that
pharmacy. - ✔✔Which of these is the best description of what the Limit to Medication
List field does (pick ONE only)? Epic will dispense medications from the associated
pharmacy if the meds are:
a) Not on the Limit to... list.
b) On the Limit to... list.
c) On both the Limit to... list and the pharmacy's med list.
✔✔From Order Hx, I can click Troubleshooting>>Dispense Trace, and read the report. -
✔✔What can I use to quickly find information about why a medication is dispensing
incorrectly?
✔✔• Create a PHR record
• Give it a type of Standard
• Attach a med list (EFY)
• On the Dispensing Information form, prevent redispensing by selecting the Do not
redispense from this pharmacy check box.
• On the Others form, prevent first doses or cart fill doses from being generated by
selecting Fire dispensing extension only (i.e., no first doses, no carts).
• On the Others form, prevent an error by choosing the RX NO ORDER TO CABINET
[85505] dispensing extension. - ✔✔In your own words, describe what you would need to
do in order to create and configure a PHR record for a floor stock pharmacy:
✔✔Order Dispense - ✔✔When a nurse "pulls" a dose of a medication from an ADS
cabinet for a patient, the ADS system sends Epic a(n) ________________________
message.
✔✔Order Verified, RX SEND ORDER TO CABINET - ✔✔When you verify an order in
Epic with an ADS cabinet as its dispense location, the _______________________
interface message should be sent. This updates the patient's profile in the ADS console.
Epic knows to send this message because ___________________________ is in the
ADS cabinet's pharmacy (PHR) record.
✔✔Load/Unload, Medication List (EFY) - ✔✔When a technician assigns a "pocket" in an
ADS cabinet to a med, that medication is now considered "available there. Epic receives
a(n) _________________ interface message, which causes it to update the correct
pharmacy (PHR) record's __________________ record.
✔✔Identifier - ✔✔In the previous question, the incoming message includes a string of
text that indicates which physical ADS cabinet's inventory changed. Epic uses the
______________ field to match that message with a specific pharmacy (PHR) record.
