| Application Note: Formulary NDC Number Validation |
| After updating to
latest First DataBank release, check for NDC changes that affect your
formulary. Ascend IP relies on accurate NDC numbers to do
clinical checking.
In Ascend IP, print or preview a report in Reports / Formulary Detail. Choose to Include "Items with Invalid NDC's". Use a built in tool to update invalid NDC numbers. In Ascend IP, go to Utilities / Maintenance Tools / Formulary Code Validation. |
