Combined overview: if a new Vitalink medication scheme is available for the patient, the medication lines from Vitalink are shown together in one combined overview with the medication lines from the local EHR Home Medication section. The origin of each medication line will be visually indicated as well as changes, additions or stops. Certain medication lines are displayed in a clustered way to clearly show the changes. After manipulation on the combined overview, it is this combined overview that will be uploaded to Vitalink. There are not two medication schemes (local vs. Vitalink), but one combined overview is shown in one medication scheme module of the EHR.
Abbreviated list: the combined overview of all active medications from the local EHR and Vitalink can be shown in an abbreviated manner by means of the abbreviated list (if there is a Vitalink medication scheme for the patient). The following information is mandatory shown: product name, dosage and posology (with underlying information about the date and remark if relevant). The intention is to show this abbreviated list in relevant places, eg on the dashboard / start page when opening the patient's EHR, on the right/left side of the work screen (sumehr, prescription module, ...).
