The
Medications module allows you to enter your own frequently
used medications into a picklist. The same medications entered
can later be used to effectively complete the Medications
section of the 485 (field 10). The same medication used
on the 485 can be used to print a Medications Sheet that
can be handed to a patient outlining any special instructions
and/or side effects.
Some
of the advantages of this option are:
-
Medications are typed in only once in the picklist. Saving
time
-
Medications are typed in correctly from the first time in
the picklist. Correctness
-
No typing on the 485. Even the (N) for New or (C) for changed
medications is automatically padded into field 10
-
With no additional effort, you can print the Medications
Sheet for each patient
-
Ability to capture and print the Special Instructions and/or
Side effects for each patient
