Patient Profile and Medication History

When you select a patient, the following information is displayed:

• The patient's name and identifying details, sourced from their medication events
• The IHI number (if it exists).

This is a record of every transaction relating to monitored drugs that SafeScript has received for the patient. The Medicines List can display four types of events:

• Prescribed
• Dispensed
• Prescribed Cancelled (hidden by default)
• Dispensed Cancelled (hidden by default)

Medication events in detail

Medication events are collapsed by default. Select an event to see its full details; or, click Expand All to expand all the events in the current view.

When collapsed, each medication event shows:

• Date: When the prescribing, dispensing, or cancellation occurred.
• Drug details: Basic identifying information about the medication, in the following format:
  Trade name - GENERIC NAME - strength - FORM - quantity
  followed by the directions.
• Practitioner Details The name and other details about the practitioner for the event.
  • Prescribe events display the details of the prescriber.
  • Dispense events display the details of the pharmacist, plus the details of the prescriber.
• Dispensed:
  • Prescribe events always display 0—for example, 0 of 3, meaning that one original and two repeats were prescribed.
  • Dispense events display the supply number of the medication event out of the total number of supplies prescribed (original + repeat)—for example 1 of 5.
• Type: An indicator of the event type (Prescribed, Dispensed, Prescribed Cancelled, or Dispensed Cancelled).

When expanded, each medication event also shows:

• The trade name, form, manufacturer, generic name, strength, and PBS code (where available) of the medication item.
• The name and contact details of the prescriber or pharmacist who created the event.

  The contact details shown are those contained in the prescription.
