PTS 5 now includes an optional CD Register module that can be used to keep track of transactions relating to the movement of controlled drugs (CDs). It is designed to be an electronic implementation of the "CD books" that were previously hand-written.
Using the CD register, staff are able to create orders for CDs that are then tracked through the dispensing process and delivered back to the ward, where the transactions relating to the receipt and onward administration to a patient can be recorded and witnessed.
Patient’s own CDs can also be receipted and administered in the CD register, as you can record transactions for stock that is not being tracked in PTS.
The CD register module features a live summary of CD stock levels (ward and patients own) as well as a detailed list of transactions.
Additionally, the CD register module includes functionality to perform CD key handovers and balance checks.
Prerequisites
- Purchase a CD Register license key.
- Update to PTS 5.0.0.47+
- Configure Application Settings to allow use of CD Register module.
- A populated drugs table is required.
Setup
Application Settings
There are several settings that need to be configured in Application Settings:
- CDLICKEY
The entry of a valid licence key enables CD register functionality within the application. Please contact TMSi to obtain your licence key. - CDNEWROLE
Staff using the CD Register can be given permission to register additional users. This is useful when a transaction needs to be witnessed but the witnessing nurse has not yet been set-up in PTS. When a user is created in this manner, the CDNEWROLE setting determines the role (and therefore default user views & permissions) that will be assigned to the new user. - CDPATID
When administering CDs from the register, PTS will verify that the CD is being administered to a valid patient. This setting determines if the local ID (usually Hospital Number) or national ID (usually NHS Number) will be used to match the patient. - PWDEXPIRY, PWDLENGTH, PWDREQDIG, PWDREQLOW, PWDREQNON, PWDREQUPP, PWDREUSE
Password complexity requirements, expiry interval and whether re-use of old passwords is permitted can be configured in line with your organisations security policies.
