Dispensing Batches
80 FastPak EXP Operating Manual
An example will clarify the use of filters. Assume
your long-term care facility only wants the pharmacy
to send the morning and evening medications for
next Tuesday and Thursday.
Begin by choosing the Admin Date filter category on
the left side of the Batch Filtering window. (Choose
the batch on the Main window; click Dispense;
choose the Batch Preview tab; click Add Filters.) All
nine of the administration dates associated with that
filter category move to the middle column.
Click the specific filters you want to include (for
example, 6/02/2009 7:00 A.M., 6/02/2009 8:00 P.M.,
etc.). Click Apply Include Filter. Those filters move
to the right column.
Click the specific filters you want to exclude (for
example, 6/02/2009 1:00 P.M.). Click Apply Exclude
Filter. Those filters move to the right column, and
appear in red.
When all the desired filters are in place, click Apply
All Filters to dispense just that portion of the batch
you request.
Note
You can filter patient-specific and cabinet replenishment
batches. You cannot filter repack batches.
After you click Apply All Filters, the Batch Preview
tab returns. Next, you can set up a notification bag
type.
