Is there a 'base' pre-populated medication file available somewhere? Also, is there a similar issue with the drug interaction functionality (e.g. do drug interactions have to be specified one-by-one)? Thanks, Marc

Re: [Hardhats-members] Setting up medication ordering

2006-01-23 Thread Kevin Toppenberg
My understanding is that the drug interaction system is based on ingredients. Each drug has a link to its composite ingredients. As new drug-drug interactions become known, these are added to the database, but older drugs wouldn't have to be specifically linked, because the check is based on the

Yes, like how would I link this into my system? My database has PATIENT/IHS, so I assume that the system is alread there. But when I do a ^DIC lookup, I still miss the duplicates. Kevin On 1/22/06, James Gray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ^AUNPLK is the IHS version of the file 2 lookup routine.

If you have a NEW GTM installation, I have an orderable item file and a drug file and an insurance file courtesy of the HUI project that might work for you. I have not thoroughly checked it out but it seems to be OK. It might work in Cache as well, I am not sure. , but I don't see any reason

Somebody else on the list may know more about this than I do. As I understand it when you use DO ^DIC to attempt to add a new patient it will do checking for dupes. I am not sure if it will behave differently depending on whether DIC(0)[A or not. There is also some special code in RPMS that

As far as I can tell, VistA doesn't seem to associate orders, lab tests, etc. with a patient problem(s). Why is that? I'm not a physician, so my preconceptions about workflow are probably wrong - hence my question. Do most EMRs function in this manner? Thanks, Marc
