Utter waste of time in its current state im afraid IMO. |
The system does not recognise the directions because the standard dosage syntax has not yet been implemented. Find out more about it on the DM+D website.
Some of the systems feed the prescribed directions straight through to the label, which cases problems, especially if the dose needs to be converted to intervals for your Nursing Homes.
Also - if the prescription comes in, matches up automatically, prints the labels automatically and we just stick it on the box, put the stuff in a bag and hand it out - why are we needed?
Don't reduce the sensitivity of your dispensing radar when using EPS.
