If counties wish to bypass the requirement to record height and/or weight for a pediatric patient, and still be able to order medications from SmartCare’s Medication Rx (i.e., cannot obtained due to telehealth visit, medication is not weight based etc).
Details: By using the following confirmation key”ShowMsgWhenHeightWeightIsMissingInRx” and setting to “Yes”, this will cause a pop-up to appear in the following scenarios when a prescriber tries to order a medication:
- Client is 18 years or younger, and
- Client has no Height and/or Weight Flow Sheet entry, or
- Client’s most recent Height and/or Weight Flow Sheet entry is 6 months ago or more.
This will safeguard against ordering medications accidentally without a height or weight, but also allow prescribers to bypass the requirements, it is not necessary or is not needed. It will also record the reason why a prescriber feels the information is not needed.
Default Value: No
Allowed Values: Yes, No
- When “Yes” is selected, then the end user will receive the following pop-up:
When “No” is selected, then the end user will not be able to prescribe a medication to a pediatric patient missing their height and/or weight, unless they enter data into the patient’s vitals in the respective flowsheet.
