Medication Review Add Screen

When you add a new review, the Add Medication Review form displays. If you are happy with the defaults, simply tick Reviewdone and then select OK.

The Medication Review - Add screen has the following defaults and options that you can select from:

  • Set Up Date - Today's date by default.
  • Clinician - Normal consulting clinician as per Consultation Manager setup options. Any clinician may be selected.
  • Read Term - 8B3S. Medication Review is the default. Review Due Date - How long from today, (the Setup Date) do you want the review to take place. A date offset from the Set Up Date according to a practice default, set on the General tab of the setup dialog under Default Settings for Therapy. The distributed default is 6 months in the future (see Medication Review Options).
  • Reviewing Clinician - The "reviewing clinician" defaults to the person who set up the review, not the person currently logged on, even if that is a member of the admin staff. This is because the "reviewing clinician" field is set by the person setting up the review. It is therefore not a default. The "clinician" and "reviewing clinician" picklists should only contain clinicians.
  • Review done - This is checked by default. When checked, it shows that, today, you have carried out and completed a medication review, and set up the next one in the future. The Date of Review box is filled in automatically with today's date and the Next Review Date as six months' hence, or whatever the Date Offset is set to. If Review done is unchecked, only the Review Due Date is filled in, and Date of Review and Next Review Date are left blank; ie the review has not been completed.
  • Date of Review - If Review done is checked, then this fills in automatically to today's date.
  • Next Review Date - Disabled, until Review done is checked. Defaults to a date six months in the future, or whatever the Date Offset to set to.
  • Notes - Free text can be added here. The free text notes are copied to future medication reviews. You can add to or change the notes, no historical entries will be amended.
