User-Defined Medications

In compliance with the requirements of the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT), NextGen® Enterprise enables you to add User Defined Medications (UDM). You can add a User-Defined Medication through File Maintenance or in the Medications module. A user-defined medication can be added only if that medication does not exist in your database. All user-defined medications are assigned a generic sequence number (GSN).
