  • 1. Automatically and electronically generate and indicate (e.g., pop-up message or sound) in real-time, alerts at the point of care for drug-drug and drug-allergy contraindications based on medication list, medication allergy list, age, and CPOE.
  • 2. Enable a user to electronically check if drugs are in a formulary or preferred drug list in ac- cordance with the standard specified in Table 2A row 2.
  • 3. Provide certain users with administrator rights to deactivate, modify, and add rules for drug- drug and drug-allergy checking.
  • 4. Automatically and electronically track, record, and generate reports on the number of alerts responded to by a user.
  • Note: VistA currently doesn't maintain formularies. This will likely need to be done with an interface to a 3rd party application, such as SureScripts.
