Monitored Dosage System (MDS) Column

If the patient is a registered for Monitored Dosage System (MDS), a check box displays against each item. There is an option to enter the MDS start date, which defaults to today’s date, for forward planning. The check boxes are then automatically checked and the number of labels default according to the following rule:

• If the number of treatment days is greater than 0, the number of labels will be the treatment days divided by 7 (rounded up).
• If the treatment days is 0, one label will be printed.
• The date printed on the labels is the start date plus 7 days for each label.
