Really the quickest way to deal with the Meds pick list is as follows. Pick a box that brings down a list of all the meds in an alphabetized data base with each individual med also listed with all of its different dosing forms and different dosing frequencies. Have the list negotiated by a simple keying in of the letters of the medication and allow the list to jump to that ordering of letters. Ie: List comes up at A (of course) then type in AVA and would bring list down to Avalide, Avapro selections. Then just choose dosing form and frequency, # to dispense and # refills, check box for do not substitute. Databases can easily be managed once all data is entered initially. With new meds, when a drug rep come in and details the MD, add the lines needed for each of the new meds. Usually no more than a few a month! My two cents, for what it is worth. Need to remember on this list that there are REAL MDs out here too who are not quite as fast on the technical side of the software and hardware, but do understand the logical ordering of what it takes to see a patient from when they walk in the door of the office, into the exam room and on their way out!
