I am working on setting up medications for the new Med Admin HTML form and I am wondering how important it is to select a med from the reference list when adding it to the available options for med administration?
I noticed that I can free type a med to add to the list so I am wondering if there is a benefit to selecting one from the Reference list? Other than the fact that the Reference list also provides a DDID #
Also curious if there is some way to have these medications auto add to the patients med list when they are selected for administration?
I make sure to add it from the reference list every time, it adds the DDID which is used for interaction checking and the main benefit. If you need to adjust the description after that you still can. I don't believe the HTML form is setup to add a medication to the med list unless it is a very recent change. You would have to modify the form or use a custom one to accomplish that.
