Hi all,
I am trying to determine the best way to have fixed dose combination drugs
in our OMRS system. Here is what I am doing now... is this what most people
are doing or is there a better way?
1. When entering them as a "concept drug", I have to enter all the drug
names together (ex: Stavudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine). And, sense I want to
be able to distinguish between the different dose combinations, I would need
to add the dose into the "name" as well.
So I would have 2 different concept drugs: 1. Stavudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine
(12/60/100mg)
2.
Stavudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine
(6/30/50mg)
Since the dose in "dose strength" can't have "/" in it, there is no way to
put the min and max dose strength in the concept drug and then have the
provider type in the dose strength in the form. So, I would just put "1
pill" as the dose strength.
Technically, these are different "fixed dose combination drugs" so creating
them as different concept drugs works right? They would both have the same
overall "concept" which is Stavudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine.
If I move forward like this, for reporting, can I report on the number of
people who received the "concept drug" [Stavudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine
(12/60/100mg)] vs. the concept [Stavudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine]?
Any opinions/advice are more than welcome!
Thanks
Evelyn
