You can check if there are drug interactions between the prescribed medications in the Medications module using the Billing ICD entry in the Billing ICD List Display Area.
- Select a Billing ICD entry in the Billing ICD List data entry area.
- Select Check Interactions.
- If there are no interactions, the application displays nothing and maintains the Billing ICD List display.
- If there are interactions, the application displays the Drug Interaction window.
Note: You cannot acknowledge (and enter a reason for acknowledging) the drug interaction information displayed through the Billing ICD List tab. This information is for notification only.
You can only acknowledge a Drug Interaction through the Medications module and only if the diagnosis is assigned before the medication is prescribed. If you assign the medication first and then assign the problem, you are not able to acknowledge (and enter a reason for acknowledging) the drug interaction. You can, however, select Done to continue assigning the problem to the patient.
- Select Done to close the Drug Interaction window.
