Hi Christine-
You need a "tiered look-up". First thing, strip the
generic equivalent fields out unless it's a true
equivalent...Proventil/Ventolin, Bactrim/Septra, etc. Second, have a
generic name exact - character for character - for the ones to appear
alike.
Example - The doc wants Acetaminophen 500mg Tab. As
they begin to type "acet...", the screen out put is
Acetaminophen Tab
Acetaminophen Liq
Acetaminophen Supp
They pick the tab line, and the next screen output
is
Acetaminophen 325mg Tab
Acetaminophen 500mg Tab
That way they are not presented with a huge list to pick
from on the first window...hence, the "tiered look-up". Make
sense?
Let me know if I can clarify that anymore -
Kevin.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adler, Christine Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 9:10 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Frosch, Deanna Subject: [MEDITECH-L] POM/RXM - Magic 5.5 SR2 Question from our
Pharmacist: We are in the process of
implementing POM/RXM. From what I have seen the drug list which appears
while entering medication orders is cross referenced by the generic name and the
generic equivalent field. This information does not allow the physician to
differentiate the drug form or strength while ordering the medication. I
was thinking of utilizing the drug type field which appears on the look-up, but
that still doesn’t help me if there are multiple strengths of the same drug (ie:
Allopurinol 100 mg or 300 mg tabs the generic name and drug type would be the
same). Can anyone give suggestions how they are using
this? Christine
