Procedure documentationSearching for Drugs

 

You can use the drug search to search for drugs which satisfy your search criteria. You can choose from the search results and transfer these drugs into other functions, for example, the medication order.

The drug search criteria are linked so that a drug will only be found if all search criteria are satisfied.

Procedure

  1. You are in, for example, the Occupancy view of the clinical work station.

  2. Select a patient and call the Create Order function.

  3. Enter the search term (e.g. asp* if you wish to search for aspirin).

  4. Select Drug Catalog as the search area and Mnemonic as the search field.

  5. Choose Start Drug Search (Start Drug Search) to perform the drug search.

  6. In the search results screen the system displays a list of the drugs which were selected using the specified search term (asp*).

  7. You can choose a drug. The following options are available to you for the further processing of the drug:
