Lexicomp:
The DHA contract with Lexicomp will expire 10 DEC 2022 – Lexicomp access goes away.
NeoFax and Micromedex Pediatrics, and full MicroMedex:
The DHA has purchased DynaMedex - an upgrade of DynaMed which now includes NeoFax, MicroMedex Pediatrics and MicroMedex.
Mobile NeoFax and Micromedex Pediatrics, and full MicroMedex:
Although the existing local WRNMMC contract with NeoFax is good through FEB 2023, if a “Password expired” prompt appears on your mobile app, the new mobile app needs to be installed.
Local formularies within Lexicomp are no longer available. MHS GENESIS and the Express Scripts Formulary Search Tool are presently available and will continue supporting the enterprise beyond 10 DEC 2022.
Updated PSU Patient Request Form
The email transition to @health.mil broke the PSU request form’s embedded “Email Form” box in the top LEFT corner. The form is now fixed and attached below.
How do you know you have the new form? The “Email Form” box in the upper LEFT corner is now purple, and not red.
Couple caveats for maximum functionality with this form:
Open and complete with Adobe Acrobat (not Edge)
Also have Outlook email already open
Once form is complete, click the PURPLE “Email Form” box in the top LEFT corner. Form will attach to a new email addressed to the PSU organizational mailbox.
Send it to the listserv at the top of the form!
We have placed the updated PSU Request Form in the PEDIATRICS share drive within the folder “PSU SEDATION REQUEST FORM.”
Building 10 Lobby Renovation
The lobby of building 10 will be closed for remodeling starting 15Dec. Please see the flyer below for more information.

Comfort Cases Donation Drive
Will you show your support this holiday season by making a donation to our Comfort Cases Donation Drive? Comfort Cases’ mission is to inspire communities to bring dignity and hope to youth in foster care through Comfort, Community, Character, and Compassion. They provide children entering foster care with backpacks filled with comfort and personal care items, since often times these children go into foster care with only the clothes on their backs, or given a trash bag to carry their belongings. Please drop off your donations in one of two train boxes located in Peds Specialty or Peds Primary. Donations will be collected until December 16th.
