Medication history is captured and included as part of the patient record enabling you to quickly see medications that have been previously tried and to identify potential drug-seeking behavior.
E-prescribing eliminates the error risks associated with handwritten scripts as well as the potential for a patient to request a replacement for a lost paper script. With Psychiatry-Cloud, e-prescribing is set up for maximum efficiency.
Interaction checking is important for all specialties, but even more so in psychiatry, where the volume of patients treated with multiple medications and complex regimens makes medication management a particular challenge. When a script is written, checks automatically occur and alerts may be triggered.
Recalls and Health Maintenance Reminders can easily be set for lithium, tricyclic antidepressants, clozapine and other medications that require therapeutic monitoring and ongoing lab work. Your practice determines the protocols, and the Psychiatry-Cloud EHR will automatically alert patients by phone and/or email. When labs are ordered, Psychiatry-Cloud’s exclusive Order Tracking System monitors the status, alerts you to any actions needed and documents patient communications.
