Pharmacy AR/WS Setup

Main Menu

• PSGWMGR (Automatic Replenishment)

Security Keys

• PSGW PARAM -> Needed for first time set-up of Site Parameters
• PSGWMGR -> Gatekeeper for ward stock menu
• PSGW TRAN -> Let's you copy one AOU's stock items to another. Good time saver!

Site Parameters Set-up

Before you set-up the site, you have to decide the answer to these questions in advance.

• MERGE INV. SHEET AND PICK LIST: Answer yes if you ONLY refill ward stock items from the floor without inventorying them first. Answer no if you inventory and then based on that inventory decide what to fill.
• PRINT RETURN COLUMNS?: Answer yes if you have regular returns from wards

Item Location Codes

I didn't need to use that option since I didn't have any complex cabinets to describe where my medications would be located at.

Create the Area of Use

This is where you make a location for each of places you have ward stock. In the example below, I create a location for the adult unit. I am not sure about the "RETURNS CREDITED TO" answer.

        Some AOUs are created for internal Inpatient Pharmacy inventory
        purposes and should not be included in AMIS counts.  "COUNT ON AMIS?"
        will be checked when quantity dispensed is entered to determine
        if the data should be added to the AR/WS Stats File.  If answered
        "NO", then NO data is collected for AMIS calculation for this AOU.
