Abstract:In a practice that has been using a computer routinely for more than two years to print, monitor, and audit repeat prescriptions a program was written to analyse combinations of drug treatments. A method is described in which for given diagnoses the computer can identify the appropriate drugs and add them together in a systematic way to produce detailed printouts of the drug management in the practice. A technique by which the computer user can analyse them further on a pharmacological basis is shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
