Validation of Drug Dictionary/Formulary

There are four validation options available from the Drug Dictionary Utilities.

  • Unprescribable Formulary Items - Lists all unavailable drugs in the current formulary, for example, discontinued drugs.
  • Unissuable Repeat Masters - Lists all unissuable repeat masters, for example, repeat masters referencing discontinued drugs, drugs which have become non-NHS or changed to a controlled drug.
  • Invalid Drug Codes - Lists all medication records with an invalid drug code, for example, drugs from a GP2GP message which may have invalid codes.
  • Discontinued Repeat Masters - Lists all repeat masters with a discontinued drug.

The results can be viewed, printed or saved as a patient group.

Each may take several minutes, and you need to confirm you want to proceed.

When the list displays, you can use File > Print to print the list out. You may then need to amend and update your Formulary accordingly.
