Introduction
Introduction
Welcome to Assyst Rx-S. This release of Assyst Rx-S was developed to address a number of
enhancements and performance requests received from you. Your input also helped us identify and
resolve a number of issues within the application.
This document describes the changes made to Assyst Rx-S since the previous release. The information
in this document is to be used to supplement existing documentation for Assyst Rx-S and its modules
and is to be considered the most current.

Build 30
Build 30
This section lists changes made to Assyst Rx-S version 2.46 build 30.
Assyst Rx-S (Core Applications)
This section lists changes made to modules/functionalities which make up the core applications in the
Assyst Rx-S Suite (i.e. the general fill and bill functionality).
Addition of ICD-9 Codes for the Alberta Clinical Pharmacy
ARXS-61 Build 30
ICD Codes, or 'Medical Reason for Use' codes, Effective October 1, 2012, all Alberta Pharmacists working
in Alberta Pharmacies and participating in the Clinical Pharmacy Service Program for submitting claim
transactions electronically must enter a Medical Reason Reference (D.50.03) and Medical Condition /
Reason for Use value (D.51.03) for the SMMA / CACP Initial Patient Assessments by Pharmacists with /
without Additional Prescribing Authority (APA) (PINs 00000071112, 00000071114, 00000081112,
00000081114):
a. Medical Reason Ref – reference category, and
b. Medical Condition / Reason for Use – describing the underlying medical reason and medical condition
for the services provided.
In addition to the information from Build 28, the following information must be added.
How to Enter the Required Information
New Prescription Window
In the 'New Prescription' window, click on the 'Extra Info' button. The 'Third Party Extra Information' window
will open.
Enter the fee in the 'Clinical Pharmacy Service 'Fee' field. In the example below, a fee of $60.00 is entered
in the 'Fee' field as the eligible amount for the rendered service '00071112'. Click on the 'Initial
Assessment of Patient's Need' button and the ''Medical Reason for Use' window will open.

Build 30
List of Medical Reason for Use Codes
Here is a list of codes used for the 'Medical Reason for Use' codes.
New Group & Section for Alberta Adult Health Benefits Program
ARXS-66 Build 30
Effective October 1, 2012 Alberta Human Services will introduce a new Group and Section Number to
uniquely identify program participants and their dependant(s) eligible for coverage under the Alberta Adult
Health Benefits Program (AAHB). These participants will now be enrolled under Group 23609 Section
000. Previously these program participants and their eligible dependant(s) were enrolled under Group
19823 Section 000.
Prescription drug claims for all AAHB participants and their dependant(s) will continue to be direct billed
through to the Alberta Blue Cross claims adjudication system using the existing carrier code 12.
Each eligible program participant and each of their eligible dependants have been assigned a unique ID.
Program participants and each eligible dependant have been categorized as the cardholder. In order to
avoid a CB response code - patient enrolled for single coverage, pharmacy providers will need to
ensure the relationship field reflects the number zero (0)- cardholder status when submitting claims to
Alberta Blue Cross for adjudication.
Group 19823 section 000 will remain active and continue to define drug benefits for other Alberta Human
Services Programs.

Claimstream Network.

Reports
Drug movement transactions not showing up
ARXS-18 Build 28
Depending on their packsize, some drugs were not showing up on the Drug Movement report.
PHN
PHN number in the rapid entry window
ARXS-21 Build 28
When filling an Rx for a patient showing an existing Netcare batch error (wrong/no PHN in profile), the
system automatically pops the rapid entry window giving the user the possibility to enter the PHN.
If the user enters the PHN from the patient profile, the "-" is present and the user must not enter the "-"
manually. However, when entering it through the rapid entry window, the user had to enter the "-" manually
or the PHN was erroneously entered in the profile, disregarding anything after the "-". The PHN was not
accompanying the claims and was generating more Netcare errors.
This has been corrected and the "-" is now present by default.
24
Build 28
PHN number in the rapid entry window
MED e-Care
Deferred Rxs added to MED e-Care eMAR
ARXS-7 Build 28
Deferred prescriptions are now being sent to the MED e-Care interface. Nursing home staff can now know
if an Rx has already been sent to the pharmacy but has not been filled yet, in order to avoid a duplication
of Rx requests when they already exist.
Narcotic Monitoring System (NMS)
Integration of NMS (Ontario)
ARXS-4 Build 28
The Narcotic Monitoring System (NMS) is a project that the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term
Care is launching, following the Narcotic Safety and Awareness Act passed during the third reading in
Parliament on November 23, 2010.
The necessary functionalities were implemented in Assyst Rx-S in order to communicate with the Ontario
Narcotic Monitoring System (NMS). For the Ministry of Ontario, this system was intended to collect,
monitor and disclose the use of Narcotics and Collected Substances.
http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/drugs/monitored_productlist.aspx
Settings
Certain conditions need to be met for NMS claims to work properly.
A TELUS Health solutions agent will first run a program that will do the following:
Create a new requirement (ON - NMS).
Create a new Third Party (Ontario - Narcotic Monitoring System) along with the new requirement.
! Note: This new Third Party will be for information purposes only and will not involve any financial
transactions.
Associate the new plan to all existing patient records.
! Note: You will need to add this plan manually only to new patient records that you will create.
25
Build 28
Adding the ON-NMS plan to a new patient
To report a narcotic Rx to ON-NMS, you will need to add this plan to the patient’s profile as the first payer
and set it to “Not Used”.
The plan must be populated with the Cardholder Identity Code.
! Note: If the cardholder code is "ONG", "ONO", "ONX" or "ONOU", enter the corresponding "Client ID
Number" from the list below in the PHN field. For example, if the Cardholder code is "ONO", you would
enter "0011984276 " in the PHN field.

example, the patient DOB field was defaulted to 2009 and users needed to select the manual entry of
dates. There were also a display of 20 years in the future which did not make sense.
LabelingPlus
Default printer
CR 79755 Build 27
The default printer was not working properly in LabelingPlus, especially with the last two choices (dot
matrix label 1 and 2). This is now fixed.
Launch Station
"Online" option for Sync Manager
CR 80622 Build 27
Since Build 24, clients have been able to launch the Sync Manager automatically, but they still had to go
and put it online. We added an "Online" option in Launch Station configuration so the Sync Manager can
launch and go online automatically on startup (just as it is done already for the Comm and Process
managers).
FDB Update
Inserted in version update
CR 81607 Build 27
On running the version update, a validation of the version of FDB used in pharmacy is now carried out so
37
Build 27
Inserted in version update
as not to replace an FDB dataset that is newer than the one included in the version update. If it is, the
FDB update is skipped, if not, the FDB update is executed and the pharmacy will at least have a version
of the age of the current build.
VDM Ordering
Duplicate orders issue
CR 81739 Build 27
When sending a VDM order, the program retrieves a .stat file to confirm the order is received. The
verification for this .stat file was not always working, leaving the client with the impression that the sending
of the order didn't go through. The client was then re-sending the order, causing a duplicate order issue.
This .stat file is now verified at the onset instead of just at the end of the order sending process. If a .stat
is found, a popup lets the users know it has a confirmation for PO # (or current PO has previously been
sent) and have them confirm if they still want to resend it.
Reports
Transaction Master – case-sensitive searches
CR 78492 Build 27
When doing a report based on drug name in Transaction Master, the name was always entered in ALL
CAPS. Therefore, if a drug name had been entered in the drug file with lower-case letters instead of all
caps, it was excluded from the results. For example, a report for drugs that start with "ATIVAN" was
disregarding drug called "Ativan". This defect is now corrected.
Transaction Master - drug QuickKey filtering
CR 82002 Build 27
There is now an option to sort Transactions in the Tx Master report based on the Drug QuickKey. All
medications that fall under a certain disease placed in the quick key (e.g. Cardiovascular, diabetes, etc )
can be printed together. The grouping feature tallies up all of the results and eliminate a lot of work.
results can be grouped.
Sales Totals
CR 81374 Build 27
There were missing or misplaced items in the Sales Totals report. This happened when modifying a Tx
related to a modification in pending. That issue causes duplicate claim errors due to missing reversals in
reports such as IMS, COP batches and Netcare PIN. This is now corrected.
Batch Fill & PPH
Overlooks Institution settings
CR 81595 Build 27
If there was an insufficient Qty remaining on a prescription and it was overridden in Batch, it was not filling
the prescription. It was ignoring the warning parameter in the Institutions module and not filling the Rx. If
the option in the institutions module is set to Warning, a warning message is displayed to the user
informing him/her that he/she can override and still process the prescription if they so choose to.
"Stat" processing for PPH
CR 81678 Build 27
Stat processing is usually most commonly used to bring a new nursing home patient up to date so they
can be added to the next batch fill.
For example, the Weekly batch for a home has gone out and the next batch is for the following Monday.
38
Build 27
"Stat" processing for PPH
The new patient comes in on Wednesday. Stat processing will be used to cover the patient from
Wednesday until they can be included in the next Monday batch, which is 5 days worth of drugs.
Because the nursing home's patients get weekly batches, the days supply is set to 7 in the example. In
the case of a stat process, the days supply will likely be only for a portion of this.
When entering start and end dates on a stat, the days supply should have been adjusted accordingly, but
instead, the full days supply was sent to the PPH. In our example above, the patient stat processed on
Wednesday should have received a days supply of 5, but pplus was sending 7. This defect is now
corrected and the right amount is sent.

Rx Details
Plan Pricing COB Issues
CR 78990 Build 26
Modifications had been made in build 25 to properly distribute costs in the Rx’s Plan Pricing in order to
honor the settings per third party, but in certain situations when the Rx doesn’t use the automatically
assigned pricing policy, there were unexpected results – Corrected. It should be noted that the information
sent in the CPha claims already respected the distribution of fees and upcharges assigned in the third
parties. The problem was in the way the plan pricing was displayed in the Rx.
Reports
Sales Totals Report - speed
CRs 78964 & 78935 Build 26
With the release of build 25, it soon became apparent that a correction brought to the report’s data
gathering was causing it to take a much greater delay to generate the report. A correction to the data
gathering logic has greatly improved the speed at which the report is generated without any impact on the
results.
Communications Manager
Access to Kohl & Frisch server
CR 79318 Build 26
In order to improve their service and avoid down time, The Kohl & Frisch orders are now to be sent to a
domain name (ftp.kohlandfrisch.com) as opposed to a fixed IP address. The update will change the
address in the Communications Manager automatically, ensuring a more faithful communication with Kohl
& Frisch.
Alberta Netcare
Portal 2006
CR 79199 Build 26
The new portal, due to increased security settings, doesn’t allow for direct access to a patient profile on
the Netcare portal by pressing on the F9 key. Pressing F9 will now only launch your default web browser
and take you to the Netcare portal login page. The functionality may return in the future, but is not
possible at the present time.

Prescriber IDs
Addition of prescribing nurse IDs
CR 74591 Build 25
Added Prescriber IDs for:
'Association of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland & Labrador'
'Association of Registered Nurses of Prince Edward Island'
'Order of Registered Nurses of Quebec'
'College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba'
'Registered Nurses Association of the Northwest Territories'
'Registered Nurses Association of Nunavut'
'Yukon Registered Nurses Association'
French equivalents also added.
Drugs
Compound modification issue
CR 73672 Build 25
An issue existed where, when making modification to a compound's General info (ex: manufacturer)
without first clicking on 'modify', the ingredients were removed from the compound. Corrected.
Drug Movement Issue
CR 75276 Build 25
Some pharmacies have seen certain drug movements stay at 0 for months on end even though
Transaction Master reports show some of those drugs having been served for the period in question. The
tracking of movement will resume although past movements registering at 0 will not be recompiled. If you
need this information, please contact our help desk for assistance.
Electronic Claims
Coordination of Benefits (COB) issue
CR 74394 Build 25
The COB settings of the third party payers associated with an Rx will determine the total prescription
cost, but amounts will now properly honour the pricing distribution defined in each third party.
Generic Requirements (Cash)
CR 73669 Build 25
Changed settings for 'Generic Requirements (Cash)' - Set 'Band Number' to 'Not Required' as this has
41
Build 25
Generic Requirements (Cash)
caused issues with some clients.
Requirement for PPMI (Alberta)
CR 74637 Build 25
The PPMI requirement will make PPMI claims easier for the pilot project participants: Currently, they are
using the Generic (Realtime) Requirement, but must enter all of the claim info in the patient's file. With
this requirement, it is now possible to simply add the plan to the patient's profile and all the proper info will
be sent. The way this is set up, you’ll only need to set the patient as the cardholder.
Alberta Blue Cross
Change Group 1 Requirement
CR 75866 Build 25
Alberta Blue Cross patients with group 1 must be switched back to the status of an Alberta Blue Cross
private plan although it is technically a public plan. This will cause downstream payers from ABC Group 1
to receive a ‘DB’ code for coordination of benefits, which is correct.
Backup
Fullbackup
CR 74687 Build 25
As things stand, when downloading updates from the Assyst Rx-S support site, the update is saved to
the HPS/Install folder. When doing a fullbackup, the whole of the HPS folder gets backed up, but this
includes any files in the install folder which adds bulk to the backup file and time for the backup to
execute. We’ve added an exclusion of the HPS/Install folder to the fullbackup configuration to avoid this.
Reports
Transaction Master
CR 75369 Build 25
In the Transaction Master Report, you have the ability to filter your Txs by ‘Transaction Type’. When a
template was saved for re-use, the Transaction types were saved properly in the template, but re-opening
that particular template didn’t always display the right information. Corrected
Report Explorer
CR 74237 Build 25
Some clients had issues launching Report Explorer if their Assyst Rx-S folder path included a space
(example: c:\assyst rxs\ instead c:\hps). Report Explorer was modified to consider such paths.
Institutions
Return to Stock
CR 73426 Build 25
It is now possible to return partial amounts of a prescription served to a patient in an institution.
42
Build 25
Return to Stock
By default, the Update Inventory box is checked. If using the Inventory reconciliation module, a ‘Return to
Stock’ will appear as a negative dispense event and will be identified as a return to stock.
Pharmacist Identification
CR 73730 Build 25
An error in user validation caused issues when accessing the Institutions module from the Tools menu,
the Pharmacist credentials weren't relayed properly. This was most apparent when making claims for
ward stock. Pharmacist identification functioned properly when the Institutions module was launched from
the start menu. Issue has been corrected.
Packaging
Patient focus
CR 73429 Build 25
When launching packaging from within Assyst Rx-S it now opens the module on the current patient so as
to avoid doing a patient search from packaging. If packaging is launched from the Windows Menu, then it
focuses on the first packaging patient (alphabetically).
Batch Fill & PPH
Reason for deletion
CR 73686 Build 25
When deleting a batch from the Process Queue, all deleted entries will receive the same reason for
deletion note (instead of just the first one).
Default PPH Override
CR 74967 Build 25
In the batch settings, it is possible to define a default PPH device if you use more than one. When the
batch got to the PPH Manager, it was not possible to override this info. This has been corrected and the
batches can now be redirected to the PPH device of your choice in the PPH Manager.

Clear PIN
CR 74456 Build 25
In the Pharmacist management module, the "clear pin" function is now only functional on the profile of the
person logged in (unless you're a system administrator). This is to reduce the possibility of anyone
changing another user's PIN.
Accounts Receivable
Deceased patients
CR 74450 Build 25
An error would occur in the pending screen if the system tried to charge to an account where the patient
was indicated as deceased. There is now an appropriate message to bring this to the user’s attention.
Manitoba Requirements
Pharmacist name and license
CR 74125 Build 25
Added Pharmacist name and license line to be filled in manually at the bottom of any reports/ Dr letters
that are used to make requests from a Manitoba Physician so that the prescriber can be paid for
addressing those requests. If the Pharmacist’s name already appears on the form, only the license line
will appear.
Reversal limit
CR 74127 Build 25
Changed number of days to modify a Tx in all Manitoba Government plans to 28.

Exclude from AB Pin Batch
CR 73661 Build 25
When creating a new drug or compound, the checkbox to “exclude from AB PIN batch” appeared grey and
checked, although it actually wasn’t. Now, it will not be grey or appear checked by default.
“cannot work on closed dataset” error
CR 74075 Build 25
If the Netcare response table was empty, going into the pending screen to see responses caused an error
saying that it “cannot work on a closed dataset”. Corrected.
PASI
Patient Profile Requests
CR 75563 Build 25
Upon request of a medical profile, active Rxs in patient profile are sent to PASI. Stopped Rxs were being
sent with the profile. Corrected
Patient Allergy and Medical Conditions Information
CR 75562 Build 25
Upon request of a medical profile, patient allergy and medical condition information were not sent to PASI.
Corrected
RxCanada
Reversals on pending screen
CR 74454 Build 25
When an Rx is filled, the communication with RxCanada occurs immediately whether the claim is
accepted or not. If the claim is rejected by the adjudicator, we have rejection options. One of the options
is to delete the transaction. If we choose that option, the Tx is deleted, but no message is sent to
RxCanada to cancel its status. This has been rectified; it will now send the status change to RxCanada
when deleting a Tx from the pending screen.
Ordering
Value Drug Mart Order Confirmation
CR 73589 Build 25
The communications module in Ordering will wait for a response from the VDM order server before stating
the order has been successfully received by VDM.
Enterprise

CR 73991 Build 25
The report’s file format is slightly modified to conform with a request from Enterprise.

Look for updates
CRs 74676 and 74686 Build 25
In Preparation of an eventual automatic delivery of updates, we have put in place a comparison of the
current build of Assyst Rx-S and the version of the update located in the HPS/Install folder.
Upon launching Assyst Rx-S, If the update version is superior to the current Assyst Rx-S, a message will
appear:
You then have the option to check the box next to “Stop showing this update message”. If you don’t
select this checkbox, the Update message box will appear every time you launch Assyst Rx-S. The other
checkbox will launch Acrobat Reader and display the newly revised Installation Notes to help you install
the update yourself.
