Yes. DUR is provided as an optional feature. Presently the system operates this function with Medispans DUR database and has done so for 8 consecutive years. Since a separate, connected processor executes the DUR calculations in parallel to adjudication this function does not add any significant time for overall Rx execution. Users that prefer FirstDataBank DUR can be accommodated with a special installation basis on a T&M arrangement with DP/Rx. Many users believe that the DUR function should not usurp the role of the dispensing pharmacist. Consequently, DP/Rx treats DUR as an option thereby enabling some savings in the maintenance license.
