EN - SpeechReport Client - Medication Module

Medication module

When a patient is discharged from the hospital, the GP will receive the patient’s information via a letter. As a part of the discharge process the clinician registers the required medication the patient needs.
SpeechReport Client offer a Medication module to register the required medication. This functionality is a separate module that can be added on the workstation installation. Adding medication will be a manual click action on G2 Client via the ‘Medication’ tab.

If the Medication module is installed, an extra entry appears on the right side of SpeechReport Client giving an overview of the selected medication for this patient. Pressing the ‘Edit’ button opens the module for selection of the necessary medication.
The overview summarizes the selected medication for this patient. Controlled drugs are shown in bold red and need to be thoroughly checked throughout the workflow as these medications can interfere with other diseases, allergies or medicines. These drugs have an exclamation mark to attract extra attention.
The module offers the end user a list of existing medications split by adults or children. For each medication the route, dose, frequency and time-period need to be filled in. Therefore, these fields are set as mandatory fields before you can add the medication. The screen below gives an impression of the medication module.
There is also the ability to enter an unknown drug manually. These are not saved in the drugs list.
