• Name Replace Utility for Pre-EPS2

  A requirement of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is that all drugs must use a dm+d description, term and preparation.

  dm+d is a dictionary containing unique identifiers and associated textual descriptions for medicines and medical devices. It has been developed for use throughout the UK as a means of uniquely identifying the specific medicines or devices Most drugs within the drug dictionary have a dm+d equivalent; however, INPS has produced a Name Replace Utility which identifies active repeat masters not already mapped to a dm+d code. The utility converts existing drugs to the new term and, if required, updates the preparation and quantity. The utility must be run before EPS Release 2 - Phase 3 is enabled, if not, a drug name mismatch warning displays in Consultation Manager.
