Re-design prescription Module. (Discussion needed) #8308
Comments
@aparnacoronasafe / @samholics Can you expand "This is relevant to reconcile mediation when the patient is transferred from one ward to another. Ideally the treating doctor must be made to review the list of active prescription in the previous ward, and accept or reject to creat an updated active prescription." |
There must be continuity to prescription when a patient is moved from one ward to another. A lot of drugs given in the ICU cannot be stopped suddenly. They may need to be veined off it by reducing dosage. Also, there may be other life-saving drugs that the patient may have been taking long term. We need to be able to enable continuity across
Eg: When the patient gives information that he takes Med A and Med B at home, at the time of admission, that must be added to Home medication and the doctor giving first prescription, should be able to see the list to decide whether to continue the meds in the hosp, or replace it with either similar meds or to stop it altogether. |
@gigincg is this clear? |
@aparnacoronasafe Need more depth on,

Discharge medication becomes home medication if the patient is admitted again.
All active prescriptions must come as suggestion. Yes that would solved the problem.
Location need not be mapped to a prescription. But its a good practice for doctor to review the prescription as the patient moved from one location to another, particularly when the patient is moved between ICU and non-ICU beds. There are some medicines that are exclusively administered at ICU, these are the medication that might require close monitoring of vitals to ensure correct dosage. Such medicines are avoided in normal wards. So doctors would want to review the medication list to replace such medication with more 'safer' ones |
@aparnacoronasafe I agree with the change needed when Dishcarging, but I believe we do not have enough field implementation and feedback to implement the same for Internal Shifting. |
This is absolutely necessary at the time of admission too. For the doctor to see the list of home medication. Internal transfers, we could revisit when we have enough input from doctors. However, the discharge medicine reconciliation component may be developed keeping in mind the use cases at various times through the encounter including internal transfers. |
Re-design Prescription Module.
Current prescription module needs to be redesigned to be more user friendly.
Issues with the current prescription module:
Cannot be placed as part of a form. The action of adding a medicine through the pop up window directly saves the medicine, even if the user cancels the form. Hence this prescription adder works as a single function, but not as part of a form.
Eg: current Doctor's progress note. Try to open Doctor's progress note, add multiple medicines. Then cancel the form. Everything else in the form is deleted, however, you will notice that the edits to prescription is saved.
Users complain that it takes too much time to add one medicine at a time. They prefer a tabular presentation where they can type in/ select multiple medicines, mark other details and save all together
More forward looking requirement is the capability to have prescriptions come up as suggestions. This may be presented as a greyed-out list, against each item in list a doctor will mark "Yes/No" to accept the medication suggestion or reject it.
Why is this relevant?
