Suppressing DUR Alerts
Administrators have the ability to suppress specific DUR interactions for a set time or forever for a specific patient and user. DUR suppression is enabled through File Maintenance. System-level and practice-level preferences determine if a user can suppress DUR interactions and the types and limits of DUR interaction suppression. Example: Because Sinus Node Dysfunction is treated by a pacemaker, there is a contraindication alert when beta-blocker is prescribed and a patient has sinus Node Dysfunction as the diagnosis. This contraindication alert is invalid if the patient has a pacemaker. While the pacemaker in this scenario invalidates the alert because multiple diagnoses are not being applied, a provider in this scenario would be alerted every time they add the Sinus Node Dysfunction as an assessment, which is every time they do a pacemaker check. A user may therefore decide to suppress DUR interaction alerts that would be displayed when beta-blockers are prescribed for a diagnosis o

Acknowledge Allergy - Drug Interactions
The DUR checks the selected allergy against the list of all active medications. If any interactions are found, they appear on the Interaction Check DUR window. Note: User-defined allergies and medications are not checked for interactions. The display of allergy interactions is based on the display levels set for the system and/or a specific user. If the Show DUR across enterprise option is enabled, NextGen® Enterprise EHR checks for possible interactions with the patient's medications across all practices. CAUTION: You must review and acknowledge each interaction alert. If you select the Cancel button, your action is audited, and you must enter the reason for cancellation. Take the necessary steps to avoid an adverse reaction for the patient. Repeat the following steps for each interaction alert. Select the interaction alert. A summary of the existing conflict and level of risk appears in the lower-left window. Review the prescribed medication and the summary. To acknowledge the warnin
