O3 Medication Orders / Prescribing

Must-know resources

DO: 

  • Follow the O3 Drug Item UI Patterns doc (link above)

  • Remember this rule of thumb: First line shows what's configured for that drug, second line shows exactly what the prescriber ordered and signed off on.

    •  (Note: In this example, the implementation configured the Drug Name here to be "Aspirin 81mg" rather than just "Aspirin", which is why you see 81mg twice in the first row.)

DO NOT: 

* Perform any behind-the-scenes magic (e.g. dose * strength multiplication or division) that hides logic from the prescriber, as this can have unintended consequences, as we learned in this bug that fortunately was caught pre-real-world-use.
