ScriptSwitch in Vision
ScriptSwitch references a database which is linked into Therapy Add to offer specific prescribing recommendations. If a match is found, based on drug formulation, strength, dosage and therapy type, ScriptSwitch alerts the clinician at the point of prescribing. This enables clinicians to benefit from local prescribing advice at every consultation.
Two types of advice are presented:
- Firstly, an alternative suggestion to the drug and/or dosage, quantity, preparation that the GP has chosen, with a brief reason for the evidence. Suggested optimisations are chosen and authorised by the local prescribing advisory team, and using a message box, the reason behind the recommendation can be evidenced.
- Secondly, an information-only advice record can be used to communicate messages, alerts, or reminders, specific to the drug the GP has entered. These can be used to highlight clinical governance and safety issues, eg "traffic light" specialist prescribing.
Whatever advice type is triggered, it is dependent on the drug details the GP enters on to Vision, and any matches found by automatic comparison with the underlying knowledge base. Any available advice is then presented concisely, instantly and automatically, which the GP, with one click, can accept or reject.
A brochure and a demonstration giving further details about ScriptSwitch can be downloaded from www.scriptswitch.com.
