Transparent Informatics: writing prescriptions quickly and efficiently on Prescription Writer will take time and practice. Oddly enough, there are a couple of crucial tricks to getting them done without losing your mind. For instance, make sure that you select Dose as well as Duration in the Details section lest you risk your sanity. I can't say for sure why we are not prompted to select these two elements. Dose refers to the "1 tablet" part of the sig and, if you add Duration, e.g. 30 days, you will not be forced to go back and enter the unit, e.g. tablet, from the bottom of a scroll down list. I know that doesn't make much sense, but do it any other way and you will know what I mean.
I am being as honest as I can be here. I really do think the Enhanced View is a major step forward for CIS, particularly for the ambulatory setting. However, I also agree with all those who have raised concerns about the Prescription Writer. It is Change with a capital C. I've been working for a few hours on the following video and hope it clarifies the prescription writing process. Let me know what you think of the video and whether it needs more help.
