      Drug Search Improvements

    We have updated the drug search following user feedback and to address a recognised clinical safety concern.

    Previously when searching for drugs within the Vision 3 therapy (prescribing) form, in some instances Vision automatically pre-populated incorrect volume / presentation of product in theDrug field of the form which increased the risk of prescribing errors, for example, searching for “enox 40” previously returned “Enoxaparin sodium 100mg/1ml solution for injection pre-filled syringes”.

We have now made the following changes to the drug search functionality to include smarter logic which helps return more relevant, expected results, based on what is most commonly searched and prescribed:

  • All words in your search must now match text in the drug name, this improves accuracy and removes guesswork.

  • Numbers are now matched exactly. For example, to find a 1.05mg tablet of a given product, you must include the full number of the strength (i.e. 1.05).

  • You can type larger numbers with or without commas, for example “1,000” and “1000” will both be handled in the same way by the search logic.
