Updated in 2564 : on 2020: 4 : 17 : CphT Rx Study Non-formulary ;
your direction is:
In common, hospitals deploy formulary only. Non-formulary is for exceptional handling, therefore management committee creates codes for non-formulary. Meta data for non-formulary is:
Code | Definition | Remark |
Integer | Adverse drug reaction; Drug diet interaction; Drug drug interaction; | Brand name; Generic name; |
Alpha | FILE; FILE LATER; | |
Alphanumeric | DAW; Special Status; | |
... | ... |
FILE is designed, based on ACTION, common conditions to be filed are:
1. new Rx
2. current Rx is changed
3. Pt does not pick up Rx
FILE LATER is designed, based on ACTION, uncommon conditions to be filed
are:
1. Pt is a non-registered person, so default
formulary
2. Pt is not a member, e.g. without insurance, via emergency, so default
formulary
DAW, Dispense As Written, so CphT dispenses as written [no substitution];
Special Status is designed, based on status of Pt such as blood donator status, lactation status, organ donator status, pregnancy status, royal status [including king, queen, other sovereign], ... ; IFF Special Status is true, formulary becomes non-formulary automatically, aka quantitative becomes qualitative;
http://cl.kp.org provides online formulary;
CphT calculation no. 51:
Morphine ER has been formulary. But, Pt's meta data prompts Allergy [so allergic to formulary]. Non-formulary code prompts that Pt agrees to pay for non-formulary drug:
(a) Guaifen/Codein 100-20mg/3ml SF (b) Protonix EC (c) Effexor XR (d) Opana ER
So, CphT dispenses.
Answer: Opana ER, its generic is Oxymorphone;
CphT calculation no. 52:
Concerning product in formulary [in common], due to treatment failure of generic equivalent, Rx is written non-formulary brand name with:
(a) DAW (b) Substitution of formulary (c) Substitution of non-formulary (d) Intolerance to brand name
Sometimes, Pt is intolerant to brand name also, even though brand name has been non-formulary;
Answer: DAW, Dispense As Written;
CphT calculation no. 53:
Formulary has been statin, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, to lower cholesterol; But, Pt's meta data "Definition" prompts Intolerance, so CphT should dispense:
(a) non-statin for LDL reduction
(b) non-formulary statin for LDL reduction
(c) formulary statin for LDL reduction
(d) statin for LDL reduction
Answer: non-statin, for LDL reduction;
CphT calculation no. 54:
Pt has failed generic equivalent of product, and the generic equivalent of product has been formulary in a hospital, so CphT should dispense:
(a) formulary drug, aka generic drug
(b) non-formulary drug, aka formulary alternative drug, aka brand
(c) the same generic drug
(d) different brand with different generic drug
Answer: (b) brand as non-formulary;
CphT calculation no. 55:
Venlafaxine has been formulary in a hospital to treat depression and anxiety, its non-formulary would be:
(a) Narcotic dependency of morphine
(b) Felodipine, calcium channel blocker
(c) Amlodipine, calcium channel blocker
(d) Effexor
Answer: Effexor, because generic as formulary to brand as non-formulary;
CphT calculation no. 56:
New member, aka new Pt means idiosyncrasy risk; Even though formulary provides lesser cost, but for a new Pt, non-formulary drug Felodipine is Rx for treating high BP aka hypertension [so, doctor will evaluate the Pt within a time period]; After the time period, Rx will change non-formulary Felodipine to formulary:
(a) Amlodipine
(b) Norvasc
(c) Plendil
(d) Morphine
Because, high cost to low cost, by risk management;
IFF Felodipine is formulary, and then non-formulary would be Plendil;
Answer: Amlodipine, calcium channel blocker;
CphT calculation no. 57:
In common, hospitals deploy formulary only. DAW can change formulary to non-formulary, if Pt agrees to pay. Proof of Adverse Drug Reaction can also change formulary to non-formulary; If code is Special Status, Rx will be written and then dispensed:
(a) formulary
(b) non-formulary
(c) generic equivalent of product
(d) non-brand
Answer: non-formulary;
