Cegedim Healthcare Solutions Formulary Management Tool

A drugs formulary is a curated list of items that help direct prescribers towards the most appropriate, evidence based and cost effective items from the Dictionary of Medicines and Devices (DM+D).

Important - Even with a formulary switched on, you still have the clinical freedom to select items from outside the formulary if required.

The Cegedim Healthcare Solutions Formulary Management Tool (FMT) is now fully integrated with Vision 3, allowing you to utilise multiple formularies, including those issued and maintained by your Health Board, across your practice.

The Cegedim Healthcare Solutions FMT:

  • Is stored in a central database rather than locally.

  • Is version controlled and automatically synchronised overnight for use at your discretion.

Note - If you select to activate Cegedim Healthcare Solutions FMT, it supersedes the Drug Dictionary Utilities module accessed from the Consultation Manager- Utilities - Drug Dictionary.

If you opt to use the Cegedim Healthcare Solutions FMT, you can:

  • Simply utilise the formularies created and maintained by your Health Board, or

  • Utilise formularies created and maintained by your Health Board and create and control your own practice formulary.

For either option you need to install and have access to the Cegedim Healthcare Solutions FMT.

See the Cegedim Healthcare Solutions FMT Help Centre for details of creating and maintaining your own formularies. Contact your Account Manager to arrange installation.
