Medication Classifications Practice Template
The Medication Classifications practice template enables you to define the Medication Classes, as well as the specific medications that fall under each class. The Medication Classes are used by Care Guidelines to determine if a specific medication class has been prescribed to a patient. The Medication Classes are also used by Chronic Conditions on the Chronic Conditions template (chronic_conditions), and the Chronic Conditions - Hpi template (hpi_chronic_conditions), and in Ophthalmology for distinguishing ophthalmic medications from systemic medications so that they can be sorted into the appropriate medication data grids. Medication Classes are also used on the Medication History template, in addition to other areas of NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine.
The Medication Classifications practice template is part of the Care Guidelines system. For detailed information on how to set up and use the guideline items, go to the NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest Care Guidelines User Guide for NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine.
Detailed information for Ophthalmology can be found in user guides corresponding to the three main Ophthalmology template sets, General Ophthalmology User Guide for NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine (framework based), Retina Ophthalmology User Guide for NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine (original 10-tab), and Ophthalmology ASC User Guide for NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine (10-tab ambulatory surgical center). These user guides can be downloaded from NextGen Healthcare Success Community.
