Medicine for Programmers: Ideas and Concepts

Let's step away from the keyboard.  As a programmer and a patient, I know a little bit about things like Drugs, Regimens, and Orders.  I'd like to hear more about the domain behind the data models.  Examples: What's a drug formulation? Why is that important when you design the Drug class?  When you look at a patient record, where does this appear?  When a patient is taking a drug, what do you need to know? (Dosage, frequency, ..., ..... ) ?  What's a regimen, and how is that different from an order?  (Suggested by Janet Riley)

Medicine for Programmers: Roles and Goals
