Pharmacy Dispense

athenaOne for Hospitals & Health Systems

Use this page to generate and print dispense reports of medications to pull from the central pharmacy to dispense to other departments in your organization. This report provides an efficient way to see which medications nurses need for patients across units and floors.

 

Note: If your hospital does not maintain stock areas outside the central pharmacy, you can contact the CSC to have the Stock Area Management functionality turned off.

 

On the Main Menu, click Ancillaries. Under Pharmacy, click Pharmacy Dispense.

 

 

 

You must be logged in to a department that uses athenaOne for Hospitals & Health Systems, your facility must use stock areas outside of the central pharmacy, and you must have the Inpatient Clinicals: Medication Preparation Workspace permission.

The Pharmacy Dispense report excludes orders filled from stock areas designated on the Stock Area Management page. athenaOne identifies and excludes orders when:

  • The order's PDG maps to a stock area.
  • The related stock area serves a department that matches the patient's current location.

After you run a report, you can batch print labels for the medications it includes. You can select individual labels or check Select all at the top of the list to print labels for all medications in the report. athenaOne prints labels for each administration of a medication, including the dose.
