1. Recognize and Prevent Medication Diversion
Pyxis and Meditech Data

2. Proactive Diversion Report allows the facility to view controlled medication activity
Topics
Primary objective
Technical issues
Data decisions
Reports developed

3. Primary Objective
Monitor controlled medications withdrawals and administrations to identify possible diversions before it gets out of hand

4. Items to Resolve Archive Files from Pyxis (technical issues)
Automate the archival process
Automate the process of importing Pyxis data into the Data Repository
Measuring the data (data issues)
What method of measurement?
How are we going to display the data?
User names that don’t match in Pyxis and MT

5. Automating Pyxis Archive Solution
We have a PC that has the location of the Pyxis Archive Files mapped to the W drive \\ \f$\v4\maintain\archives\
We move the Pyxis Archive Files to a network folder.   “S:\Pharmacy\PyxisNT\”
At 5am each day, the files are moved from one location to another.  This is accomplished using Window’s Task Scheduler and a batch file.  “CopyPyxisArchiveData2NetworkFolder.bat”
The batch file command is made up of one line of text.  “move w:\*.* s:\Pharmacy\PyxisNT\”

6. PyxisMedTransactions Data Import
Task:
Automate the moving of data from daily files (through yesterday) into database tables.
Wrinkles:
"Daily" files are moved by a human to their folder. Which means yesterday's file may not have been moved into the folder yet today.
Perhaps more than just yesterday’s file may not have been moved into the folder (vacations happen).
This automated daily job may not have run yesterday for some reason.

7. PyxisMedTransactions Data Import
Solution Algorithm:
Givens:
File has name of mmddyy.PYX and will always be in the same folder.
General Solution:
Generate all filenames holding data – starting with the last date this automated job ran through yesterday.
Pull data from all those files and insert into a table in the DR.

8. PyxisMedTransactions Data Import
Algorithm Schematic
Start
Run DTS to pull
Filename from
“Found” table,
Move data from
“Found” File to
“Today’s-run” table
Update
“Today’s Run”
table
Generate
today’s
filename
Any
Missing
Files
Found?
Move Missing
Filename to
“Found” table
Copy “Today’s-Run”
Table to Final
Destination table
Yes
Done No

9. PyxisMedTransactions Data Import
Specific Algorithm:
1. Create a Stored Procedure that will generate all possible filenames from the last date this automatic job was run through yesterday to be sought in the folder and insert the names into a "Missing" table in the database.
To do the above, we pull the “Last Date" that the "Missing" filenames were generated from the Final Destination table.
Start date for generating the "Missing" filenames is the last date they were generated + 1 day.
If the date for the filename we just generated is not yesterday, insert the filename into the “Missing” table and continue generating the next filename by adding 1 day to that last filename.

10. PyxisMedTransactions Data Import
Specific Algorithm (continued)
2. Create a Stored Procedure to see if any file in the "Missing" table is now in the folder, if so then move the filename from the “Missing” table to the “Found” table (remove the filename from the “Missing” table).

11. PyxisMedTransactions Data Import
Specific Algorithm (continued)
3. Create a DTS that walks down the “Found” table to import the data from the filenames obtained from the “Found” table until no more filenames are left in the “Found” table.
DTS pulls the top filename from the "Found" table and stores in a global variable.
If no filename is found (“Found” table is empty) then skip move data step otherwise set DataSource to be the global variable.
Move Data from DataSource to “Today’s-run” table.
Delete the top filename from the "Found" table.
If “Found” table is not empty loop to first step of DTS.
"Found" table is empty – DTS returns success result.

12. PyxisMedTransactions Data Import
The DTS workhorse…
Dynamically set global variable filename from top of “Found” table for use by Connection1.
If “Found” table is empty we will skip Transform Data Task. Else reset DataSource for Connection1 to be global variable filename.
Move data from the Connection1 DataSource file to “Today’s-run” table in the database.
Update “Found” table. If more filenames in “Found” loop back to set global variable else report successful completion.

13. PyxisMedTransactions Import Data
Specific Algorithm (continued)
4. Create a stored procedure to update a couple of columns in the "Today's-run” table (per customer request).
5. Create a stored procedure to copy all "Today's-run" table data to final destination table if it exists. Whether there is data in “Today’s-run” table or not, update “Last Date” field in final destination table to be today’s date.

14. PyxisMedTransactions Import Data
Finish automating the task by creating a job with these 5 steps and schedule it for nightly run.

15. User Names….. Issues Current Maintenance What did we do?
Created a table that maps all Meditech UserID’S and Pyxis UserID’S that are not the same
Issues
Table has to be maintained by pharmacy and IT.
Current Maintenance
Communication between PHA on Pyxis user id changes and Monitor Meditech user name changes.

16. General Data Decisions
Use statistically significant data to determine outliers
Display Meditech data along with Pyxis transaction data.
All transactions performed in Pyxis for a particular medication and location
Summary of transactions per patient and medication.

17. Reports Developed Proactive Diversion Report, main report
