• If after the automatic questioning it is determined that the active medication from the local EMR corresponds with the Vitalink medication scheme, no further action is taken.
  • Still, it remains valuable to see the active medication.
  • Showing a short list with at least the product name, dosage & posology is sufficient to give the general practitioner a first overview of any changes.
  • For example, a tooltip with a 'mouse-over' action shows additional information such as a start or stop date and/or a note regarding the medication line. In the overview itself it can be indicated that there is additional information so that the GP knows which medication lines he/she can possibly carry out a 'mouse-over' action on.
  • With all medication lines the indication 'Vitalink' will be displayed so that the GP clearly knows that there is no difference between the local EMR and the Vitalink medication scheme.
    
    
• If, after the automatic questioning, it is determined that the active medication from the local EMR does not match the Vitalink medication scheme, one combined overview of all active medication from the local EMR and all active medication stored in the Vitalink medication schedule will automatically be shown.
  
  • The display of a list with at least the product name, dosage and posology is sufficient to give the general practitioner a first overview of any changes.
  • Draw attention to changes, new additions, inconsistencies in this combined overview.
  • Additional information such as a start or stop date and/or a note regarding the medication line is shown via, for example, a tooltip. In the overview itself it can be indicated that there is additional information so that the GP knows which medication lines he/she can possibly carry out a 'mouse-over' action on.
  • The list of medication stored in the local EMR can continue to exist here, but the focus should be on the combined overview of information from Vitalink and information from the local EMR.
• Draw attention to changes, new additions, inconsistencies in this combined overview.
  
  
• Visualize clearly which medication line comes from where (Vitalink vs. local). A medication line from Vitalink has the Vitalink icon displayed. A medication line from the local EMR is displayed without an icon.
  
  
• Visualize changes in the following way:
  
  • Newly added medication with respect to the local EMR:
    
    • Emphasize this with a different background color so that attention is drawn to it (note: people with color blindness do see color shades, so for them it is also visible that there is a difference of color with the other lines).
  • Change in posology, intake moment, etc:
    
    • Cross out the medication line that has been replaced (in this way the GP clearly sees what he/she had prescribed and how this was replaced by medication prescribed by another health care provider).
    • Display the relevant medication line from the local EMR and the medication line from Vitalink in a clustered way (in this way the 2 'associated' medication lines are placed underneath each other, making comparison easier for the general practitioner). By keeping the unique URI once the mapping has been made, the connection between 2 'associated' medication lines can be better and faster verified next time. A 'reference algorithm' can be worked out for this.
  • Removal of prescribed medication:
    
    • Cross out the medication line that has been removed.
      
      
• The necessary changes (make the deleted medication line active again, change the modified posology to previous posology, etc) can be done by right-clicking on the relevant medication line or by clicking on an action button.
  
  • When the GP does nothing, he/she agrees with the overview of the active medication that he/she sees (deleted medication will disappear, adapted posology will be retained and the previous posology will disappear, etc) and at a next opening of the EMR it is shown as a local scheme.
    
    
• Provide the opportunity to display an alert:
  
  • With, for example, 2x same type of medication but with a different product name. These will also be displayed under each other for clustering.
  • For example, an incomplete medication line.
  • Give, for example, a tooltip after a 'mouse-over' action for the relevant medication line, more information about why there is an alert (eg incomplete medication line).
