Begin treatment with line

This is a normal case, where the medication line is the trigger for prescriptions

  1. Psychiatrist decides that patient should initiate treatment for depression, indicating bupropion. They create a treatment line for that patient. No prescription is necessarily authorized yet.
    • At this moment, querying a patient’s current medications should return this line, with status “????”
  2. After checking contraindications, psychiatrist decides to the treat patient with fluoxetine instead. The prescription is finally issued for 1 box of 30 tablets
    • At this moment, querying a patient’s current medications should return this line, with status “????”
  3. When medication is dispensed, the medicationline is not updated but the medication may be added the link

Treatments from prescriptions

This is the other normal case, where the medication line is derived from existing prescriptions

  1. Patient visits the GP who issues a prescription
  2. From the prescription, a medication line is created (or updated if one already exists)
