MPSO

For 'Drs Bag' and similar supplies which are not on a prescription for a specific patient.

 To dispense a Supply Order

• Proceed the same as for a normal script, with the 'Patient' having the name of the practitioner, Eg; "MPSO for Dr A Smith".

• Use a 'Patient category' of MPSO .

• Dispense the items as usual.

 Charging/Claiming MPSO

Items available on an MPSO will be charged on 'SmartClaim'.

To avoid 'Script only' items being dispensed by mistake on an MPSO, when the 'patient category' is MPSO it will display only those items which are able to be dispensed on a Supply Order and suppress other items. Consider this if an item appears to have disappeared when you try to dispense it on an MPSO... has it been removed from the MPSO list?

Items which are available on MPSOs but for which the quantity exceeds the MPSO limit are charged as wholely NSS.

 Non-MPSO items

To dispense suppressed items as a NSS MPSO, set up another 'Patient' with a name this time of "NSS items for Dr Smith" and a patient category of "NSS". All items will be displayed, automatically priced as NSS, and not claimed.

 Rural pharmacies

Will have all items claimed on MPSO. To specify that the MPSO is for a doctor in a Rural area, from RxOne Start Menu, select Tools, Utilities, Doctor Utilities, Modify Doctors. Double click on the doctor to modify and then tick the Rural Doctor box.

 MPSO pricing.

• A 'S'net cut off price' and 'residual price' are able to be defined for Supply Orders, to allow for future changes. As of July 2003 both should be set to zero. Check this if pricing is not as expected.

• If an MPSO prices out unexpectedly as NSS, you are probably dispensing more than the allowable quantity so the whole item becomes correctly NSS.

 MPSO report

To print out a BSO or MPSO report:

From RxOne Start Menu, go to Reports then Script Reports and Script Drug Reports then BSO/MPSO Report.
