Bob - Since we now have an allergens dictionary in
5.5, I would like to see Meditech make it possible to take this list and enable
us to use any of these entries to enter non-drug dictionary items so that we
could have allergy and interaction checking. What do others think. It wouldn't
even have to be this list but could be the one that they supply for RXM (I
believe that this is the product). I should probably do a MIX request for this.
I would welcome any input from others out there in crafting this
request.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Checking Herbal
Drug Interactions

======================================
We are on Magic 5.4 and use a specific
Order Type of "H" or Home Med for items that a patient takes at home but was
not prescribed at the hospital. I would like to enter nutraceuticals so
that they can be checked for interactions, but do not want to clutter up my
drug dictionary with herbal products. I thought about creating a single
nutraceutical drug and then attaching all ingredients to it from the
ingredient dictionary that qualify as natural products. Unfortunately,
the natural products are not available in the generic dictionary, only in the
ingredient allergy dictionary. This would flag allergies, but not drug
interactions (as far as I understand it). Has anyone come up with a
solution to checking for interactions with natural products?
