Simplified medication ordering reducing and clarifying errors Copied

It is frustrating to constantly deal with unpredictable quirks when ordering medications. In version 3.0.31, we introduced the following updates that decrease this frustration by reducing clicks and rework:

• When selecting the instructions option, the system retains the entries in the dispense quantity and dispense unit fields rather than removing data from them.
• There will be fewer instances where updating the frequency, dispense quantity, and duration fields cause information in other fields to be removed.
• Updating the frequency field no longer clears the dispense quantity and dispense unit fields.
• Automatic calculation of dispense quantity only occurs when the duration field is completed and the frequency can be quantified, such as daily, twice a day, or after meals. In the case of after meals, the system assumes three meals per day unless otherwise noted. If the frequency cannot be quantified (i.e., as directed), the system will not automatically update or clear the dispense field when the frequency is updated. This will again result in fewer error messages.
