PECS provides several ways to find the records it contains. Once found, a record can be viewed, customized, reviewed, etc. Not all methods work for all concepts.
The PECS Home tab provides convenient links to pre-defined queries that will display records in various classifications. Most importantly, it provides links to queries to find records specifically related to you. The My Request History example below provides links to queries to display records that you (the logged in user) have interacted with in some way.
See PECS Home for additional information.
The Advanced Query/Customization function can be used to find any record within PECS. It allows you to specify many criteria to produce very targeted results. See Advanced Query/Customization for additional information.
Easy Search provides a simple way to search for and display commonly-requested PECS information. Easy Search differs from other methods for finding information in that the results are display-only; the records displayed as a result of an Easy Search query cannot be modified. However, in some cases, a link is provided to an editable version of the resulting records.
See Easy Search for additional information.
The Drug Pair Lookup page provides the ability to perform a quick query search on the most common elements:
You can perform a simple query to find a record from the FDB DIF and VA Custom tables. Enter query criteria in any or all of the four entry fields (Drug A, Drug B, Interaction, or Severity Level Code). The results are displayed under the VA Table Results and FDB Table Results panels. These consist of active customized Drug Pair records from the VA custom database that are available for modification, as well as their related Drug Pair records from the FDB database from which they were customized.
