  2. Select Reports – Unexpanded Dosage Codes.

  3. The unexpanded dosage codes report screen displays along with the following message "This will analyse active Repeat Master records for unexpanded dosage codes in dosage instructions. Unexpanded dosage codes may result in unclear instructions to the pharmacists or patient. A patient group will be created ($DOSEUNEXP) containing all records with this condition for currently active patients. The group can be used to correct the dosage instructions in Consultation Manager. This option can be run any number of times.". Select Run.

  4. If you have previously run the report you are prompted "Patient group ‘DOSEUNEXP’ already exists. Do you wish to overwrite it? Yes/No" , select Yes to continue.
  5. When the report is complete, the "Unexpanded dosage codes report has completed" message displays. Select OK.
