Therapy Tab

On the Consultation Options Set-Up screen, under the Therapy tab:

General

Show packsize warnings – On Therapy Add, if a therapy item is marked as Practice administered or Dispensing, and if the quantity cannot be divided equally by the packsize, then a warning can be shown. For example, if a therapy item has a quantity of 60 tablets, and a pack size of 28 is chosen, then a warning is given, giving you the opportunity of changing the quantity. If left, the consequent printing of pack labels means two labels will be printed with pack size 28, and one further label for the remaining 4 tablets.

Handwriting Reminders - Controlled drug prescriptions are now printable so this option is no longer relevant.

If ticked, then the reminder message described in Controlled Drugs (Print on RHS, Don't Print, Cancel) will be displayed for a selected controlled drug after the first Print command (F9 or ). You can choose to print the controlled drug details on the right-hand side, as a reminder to handwrite the prescription on the left.

Use Gemscript Posology Defaults – If Use Gemscript Posology Defaults is checked, this will automatically fill in the amount and dosage fields with the recommended quantity, from the Gemscript drug dictionary. You can always override them at the time of entering the drug item.

Note – When copying an an item which has your own quantity and dosage, and you have Use Gemscript Posology Defaults switched on, the copied item will have the Gemscript defaults, not yours.
