Got this change request:
"Want to add some kind of “pop-up” or alert that comes up when a scheduled drug is added to the med list that alerts the prescriber to have the patient sign a controlled drug contract."
I don't know of a way to do that. I've looked at some Medication and eRx tables and don't see where that kind of info would be, much less if there is something in the mldefs files that would let us look for it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

In case you are still looking for information:
I had to generate a list of Schedule II meds - among other types - and used the GPI codes to do so. I started with Dr Nelsen's list and then got the other GPI codes I needed from the MEDINFO table, CLASSCODE and GPI fields.
Here’s the documentation for ClassCode
CLASSCODE - Represents the Controlled Substance or DEA class code, also known as "Schedule".
1 No accepted medical use
2 High abuse potential
3 Moderate abuse potential
4 Limited abuse potential
5 Limited abuse potential, small amounts
Blank Undetermined or not applicable
I wrote a couple of functions to run through MEDS_AFTER to parse and process the list. I've included the relevant code below, but removed the implementation specific code from ProcessMedicationChanges(). This should give you an overview of what worked for us. Contact me if you have questions.
