Introduction to Batch Processing

The batch processing functions include the following windows:

• Setting Batch Preferences appears at the beginning of the scheduling process, allowing customized settings for a batch.
• Reviewing Prescriptions from the Batch Profile Window lists all prescriptions in the batch.

Batch processing retains the intervention codes MG, PB and MI when refilling prescriptions. When logged onto PharmaClik Rx as a technician, the appropriate pharmacist initials are linked to the intervention codes (this applies to batch processing and backgrounding from the Workbench).

The MI intervention code only applies to Ontario Drug Benefit and Trillium claims, and depends on the acquisition cost prompt in Rx Detail. When the Skip Evaluation flag is selected for a batch, prescriptions eligible for an MI intervention code use the value from the previous fill: if the prescription used MI on the last fill, it will use MI on the current fill; if the prescription did not use MI on the last fill, it will not be used on the current fill

Note: If the prescription is no longer eligible for MI, the intervention code will be removed on refill). When Skip Evaluation is turned OFF for a batch, the prescription uses the pharmacy's Acquisition Cost Prompt preference to determine if the MI intervention code will be used in the prescription.
