Thanks Luis for the insightful reply. We need to somehow develop the idea of "Product Strength" (how much active ingredient is contained in an actual dose unit) and how we can create a medication product database/dataset which will allow interchangable calculations of dose in g/mg/microgram or capsules/tablets/ml/doses.
Prescribers need the flexibility to prescribe in mg or capsules so GNU Health will need some sort of conversion table/calculation which will need to be configured for each medication product by a clinical administrator. I attach a spreadsheet to illustrate what I mean. Over to you to work out how best to do this computationally :-) Regards Andrew
