Drug Forms Peter Johnson SCHIN, Newcastle, UK Work done in Prodigy 3 project By Chris Wroe, Medical Informatics Group, Manchester University, UK
Motivation • Decision support • Chronic disease management guidelines • Computer needs to be able to answer questions such as :- • “Is this patient on an inhaled steroid for asthma?” • “on a sustained release tablet for angina?” • Implies machine has explicit categorisation of drugs by Indication, Chemical structure, Route of admin, Form, etc.
Patient on • Becodisks • Dry powder for inhalation, disks containing 8 blisters of beclometasone dipropionate • 100 micrograms/blister
