How do I find the DDID for a drug?
I am trying to experiment with adding medications through a quick text with MEL_ADD_MEDICATION. But if I am reading it right I need to have the DDID # in the sample I have below (1926)
{MEL_ADD_MEDICATION("IMITREX 25 MG TABS (SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINATE)", "1 po tid","03/01/2004",1926,"06/30/2006",250,3,"Y","Must use specific brand as indicated","ICD10-R45.8|ICD-401.1","ACUTE MI|HYPERTENSION",false)}
This is what it returns:
{MEL_ADD_MEDICATION("IMITREX 25 MG TABS (SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINATE)", "1 po tid","03/01/2004",1926,"06/30/2006",250,3,"Y","Must use specific brand as indicated","ICD10-R45.8|ICD-401.1","ACUTE MI|HYPERTENSION",false) <-ID WAS NOT FOUND. MEDICATION MAY BE UNCODED OR ID MAY BE INVALID.

The variety of Meds_ () functions return the DDID. Please refer to the help files in Centricity. If one uses Meds_After("delimited") function, the 3rd field is the DDID, forth the CPI code, fifth NDC code. The function returns all fields delimited by "^" and rows by "|". Refer to MEL GetField() function for details on processing the returned data.

If you are looking for a DDID for a certain med to hard code it, GE has a report for that. Go to Chart Reports ->Medicalogic folder its called Medication DDID, just search for what you want.

I was pretty sure it came with CPS, but I noticed its missing from one of my databases too. Ill send it to you in an email.
