Patient details: Conditions & Sensitivities tab
This screen shows you known Conditions & Sensitivities for this patient.
When you add a new patient, then it will automatically make certain selections based on their gender e.g. a man cannot be a nursing mother, etc.
Conditions
In Pharmacy Manager you can record medical conditions for each patient. This is useful as a guide to whether certain medications may be inappropriate.
If you know that a patient has or has not a medical condition:
-
Click on either the Has or Has Not button.
The Find Condition screen appears, showing you a general list of categories.
-
Click on the icon to expand the "tree" for a particular heading, and look for the condition you want.
-
If you cannot see what you want, click on the icon to collapse that tree branch again. (This is only for convenience and keeps the screen relatively uncluttered).
-
Click on the required condition and click on the OK button.
-
Repeat for other conditions until complete.
Sensitivities
This screen also shows you a list of medications or ingredients to which the patient may be allergic/sensitive.
