Page History

• In this wireframe, the home medication of the local EHR is visible. 

• It is visible that the system is syncing with Vitalink (upper right corner).
  • This is done automatically, without interference of the healthcare professional.
  • It is important that the automatic sync starts when opening the EHR of the patient (and not only when opening the medication module of the EHR).
  • The healthcare professional should be aware that the system is syncing with Vitalink. Therefore it is recommended to use an icon and/or textual label expressing what the system is doing.
  • The sync can only be done with Vitalink if IC & TR are OK.

• While syncing, the healthcare professional can do all actions in the medication module of the hospital software (add new medication, re-prescribe, transfer to admission medication, ...).

• It is possible to validate the active medication list of the local EHR; but preferably this is only done when the Vitalink data are synced with the medication data of the local EHR. 

• The automatic import and analysis of the information from the Vitalink medication scheme should take a minimum of time. Preferably 4 to 6 seconds or less; with a maximum of 10 seconds.

Image Modified                           Example when the latest validation was done by a general practitioner. 

Image ModifiedExample when the latest validation was done by a specialist
in an hospital (only the hospital will be visible). 

• When the sync with Vitalink isn't possible, it should be indicated that the sync couldn't be done successfully (status information). 
  • When doing a mouse over, more information about the failure should be provided via a tooltip. 
  • It should be possible to initiate a new sync with Vitalink.

• When there isn't a Vitalink medication scheme for the patient, this should be indicated.

  • It should be possible to create a Vitalink medication scheme for the patient via 1 click.

  • When checking the check box in the example below, the medication list that it validated by the healthcare professional will be uploaded to Vitalink at the end of the contact.

• Here, it is visible that a new medication line was added on Vitalink. 
  • This medication line is visualized in a combined overview with the medication of the local EHR.
  • This new medication line is highlighted to indicate that this is data coming from outside the EHR.
  • This new medication line receives an icon, indicating the source.
  • This new medication line receives a label (new), indicating that it concerns a new added medication line.

• When the healthcare professional agrees with the combined overview, he/she doesn't have to take any action.
• Only when the healthcare professional doesn't agree, action should be taken (cfr. next wireframe with drop down menu).

• In this example, it is visible that one medication line has been changed on Vitalink. One medication line has been stopped.
  • These medication lines are visualized in a combined overview with the medication of the local EHR.

• For the changed medication:
  • This changed medication line is highlighted to indicate that this is data coming from outside the EHR.
  • This medication line is visualized closely together with the related medication line(s) that already existed in the local EHR.
    • This can be done based on the unique URI that each medication line has. 
    • This can be done based on the product name, substance name, ...
    • By doing so, it is easier for the healthcare professional to analyse and decide on the medication lines.
  • This changed medication line receives an icon, indicating the source.
  • This changed medication line receives a label (change), indicating that it concerns a changed medication line.
  • The medication line that is changed becomes 'strike through'.

• For the stopped medication: 
  • This stopped

• • medication line is highlighted to indicate that this is data coming from outside the EHR.

• • • The stopped medication line receives another colour to make sure this attracts the attention of the healthcare professional.  
  • This stopped medication line receives an icon, indicating the source.
  • This

• • stopped medication line receives a label (

• • stopped), indicating

• • that it concerns a

• • stopped medication line.
  • The medication line that is stopped becomes 'strike through'.

• When the healthcare professional agrees with the combined overview (agreement with changed medication line & stopped medication), he/she doesn't have to take any action.
• Only when the healthcare professional doesn't agree, action should be taken (cfr. next wireframe with drop down menu).

• It is highly recommended to not use too many colour indications for highlighting data coming outside the EHR.
  • Therefore, only one colour is used to indicated new medication & changed medication lines.
  • Another colour is used for highlighting stopped medication lines.

End of the contact 

• After checking the active medication with the patient, updating medication and / or prescribing medication, the healthcare professional will validate the medication scheme (the combined overview). 

• Like already indicated:
  • When the healthcare professional agrees with the combined overview (agreement with changed medication line & stopped medication), he/she doesn't have to take any action.
  • When the healthcare professional doesn't agree, action should be taken (edit, reject, re-activate, ...).

• Validating the combined overview will work the same as validating the active medication in the local EHR: they will have to validate and in the same time, the information will be uploaded to Vitalink. 
• By default all medication lines would be selected (check boxes will be checked).

• When the sync with Vitalink is not yet done, and when the healthcare professional would like to validate already, it is possible to validate & continue. This means that no update to Vitalink is send for this patient.
  • But normally this shouldn't be this case since the sync & analysis of the combined overview should be done in 4 to 6 seconds or less; with a maximum of 10 seconds.

• When there isn't yet a Vitalink medication scheme for the patient, this is indicated via status information. 
  • Next, the healthcare professional can validate and create a Vitalink medication scheme at the same time.
  • It should be set by default that if there not no Vitalink medication scheme, a new one will be created when validating the medication. 
  • The healthcare professional can uncheck this option and can continue with only internal validating the active medication. 

• If validating the active medication list / scheme without selecting all medication lines: 

  • A notification appears with the message to select all medication lines.

  • Below the action buttons, the medication list / scheme should be visualized.

    • In this way, the healthcare professional can easily check / select & validate towards Vitalink.

• If closing the patient record without validating & updating the medication scheme towards Vitalink:

  • A notification appears with the question to update Vitalink or not.

  • Below the action buttons, the medication list / scheme should be visualized.

  • In this way, the user can easily check & validate towards Vitalink.
