Background:

DSS Pyxis IV Prep Software provides the interfacing capabilities of providing straightforward communication between VistA and automation equipment. It is necessary in order for equipment to be able to receive information and communicate with VA facility technology. DSS Pyxis IV Prep Software / Rx Framework is the only interface with ability to have order information able to be transmitted to BD IV Prep and can therefore utilize the equipment labels rather than generating separate VistA labels. It allows for streamlined usage of equipment rather than requiring workaround that PADE interface may require. Additional and missing doses are also able to be queued directed to the equipment which is not possible with PADE.

Objectives:

VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS) is requesting purchase of DSS Pyxis IV Prep Software System Support for/on existing proprietary Rx Framework Pyxis IV Prep Hardware System to communicate with VistA in dispensing prescription medication at VAGLAHCS.
