Accept OK on Therapy - Add
Having entered at least a Drug and Quantity on the TherapyAdd screen, you can:
- Either finally accept with OK,
- Or click on Another which accepts the current drug, clears the drug window, and allows you to select a new therapy item without having to exit and Add to re-enter.
There are a number of warnings that may be given before you can proceed:
- Missed mandatory entries
- Generic Prescribing
- Drug allergy/Insensitivity warning
- Unexplained dosage code
- Methotrexate Warnings
- Messages you may encounter while issuing repeat scripts
- Drug Dictionary Changes - warning messages
A Drug Check Results window may then be displayed and symbolised on the status bar. The symbols are explained in Drug check displays and give information about possible drug interactions, contra-indications or drug doubling (same ingredients as item already prescribed) relevant to prescribing this item to the currently selected patient.
After the Drug Checks display, you are prompted to link the medication to a problem. See Medication linked to Problem (GMS Contract requirement).
You are returned to the Therapy list, ready for printing the prescription (see Print prescriptions.)
