GNU Health/Prescriptions

The corresponding official chapter: https://docs.gnuhealth.org/his/userguide/basics/coremodule/prescriptions.html About Prescriptions Prescriptons can be found in the Health → Prescriptions section of GNU Health. However, since in most cases you only need to see the prescriptions of a specific patient, the recommended way is to open a Patient record and to switch to Prescriptions using the Relate button. Information Stored in Prescriptions Each Prescriptions record stores some general information: Patient: Link to a patient (mandatory) Prescription ID Prescription Date Prescribed by: Link to a health professional Pharmacy: Link to a pharmacy (i.e. a Party record with the Pharmacy flag set) Pregnancy Warning Prescription Verified The information about the medicaments can be found in the Presciption Lines section. Each Prescription Line consists of the following fields: Medicament: Link to a medicament Indication: Link to a Pathology Info record Allow Substitution Print Form: Link to a Drug Form record Administration Route: Link to another Drug Form record Start: Date and time End: Date and time Dose Dose Unit: Select an existing dose unit or create a new one Times Frequency Admin Hours Frequency Unit: Choose from "Seconds", "Minutes", "Hours", "Days", "Weeks", or "When required" PRN: Short for pro re nata (= use it as needed) Treatment Duration Treatment Period: Choose from "Minutes", "Hours", "Days", "Weeks", "Months", "Years", or "Indefinite" Review: Date and time Units Refills # Comment Note: Only a fraction of these fields are visible in the list view, so make sure to open a Prescription Line in the form you to have access to all fields.
