Drug Dictionary Utilities Changes:
- From DLM 400, Vision no longer uses the Multilex drug dictionary provided by First Data Bank for prescribing and decision support in Vision software. In its place is an enhanced dm+d drug dictionary called Gemscript which has been developed by both VISION and a Cegedim company called RESIP.
- Therapy Rebuild option has now been removed from Drug Dictionary Utilities. This is because it is now run automatically when you receive a new drug dictionary update.
- The select action group prompt which displayed when adding items to the formulary has been removed as it is no longer relevant for the Gemscript drug Dictionary.
