If the local medication scheme is made interactive, this should work bi-directionally (an adjustment of an intake moment on the medication scheme should lead to an adjustment in the list of active medication).

Recommendations

...

• The pharmacist wants to see the following extra information per medication line:
  • Name of the health care provider who prescribed / adjusted the medication. This information is sent with the medication scheme to Vitalink. This gives added value to the interpretation of the scheme and in this way it is clear to other care providers which medication is prescribed by who.
  • For which pathology is the medication prescribed? (not compulsory to enter during prescribing, but desirable. This will usually be entered by the GP).

• In addition, the pharmacist also has certain expectations regarding the visualization and use of this medication scheme. The pharmacist does not view this as a static page, but wants to use it for:
  
  • Adjusting intake moments: provide dynamic input fields to adjust the intake moments to the medication scheme itself (bi-directional operation).
  • Removing a medication line: provide check boxes to select one or more medication line(s) and remove them with one click (this gives the pharmacist a complete overview of all active medication before removal).
  • Adjusting a medication line: double click (or other action such as right-click) on a medication line leads to the prescription module where, for example, the posology can be adjusted.
  • Not showing a medication line on Vitalink (by default, everything is on 'show on Vitalink').
  • Adding a note: provide a dynamic input field to enter a comment on a medication line (in this way the comments field will be used more and better).
  • To upload the complete medication scheme to Vitalink (validate).
  • Placing the medication scheme on a 'to do' list for later upload to Vitalink (delayed validation).

• In addition to the name of the health care provider, show the specialty of the health care provider who has added or adjusted a medication line if this is given via Vitalink.
  
  
• Make it possible to drag medication from the 'chronic' to 'temporary' or 'if necessary' category, taking into account the corresponding specifications for each of these categories (eg with regard to the end date).
  
  
• Visualize medication that was delivered during the current delivery in a different way (icon and / or color).
  
  
• Showing the version number is less important for the pharmacist, but can be interesting for a print version of the medication scheme or for other reasons.
  
  
• The pharmacist wants to know possible interactions between medication lines, but not all possible interactions.
  
  
• In some cases, the pharmacist may want to adjust the order of the medication lines in the Vitalink medication scheme.
  
  • Make sorting possible on the columns of the medication scheme that is shown locally (eg alphabetically, per pathology (if indication is entered), per intake moment, most recently added medication on top (so also the last changes are at the top), chronic / temporary /If necessary.
  • Visually indicate which column has been sorted.
  • Ensure that this representation is remembered when opening the Vitalink medication scheme for other patients.
