Our behavioral health department wants to better monitor and manage patients who are on different classes of medication (i.e. mood stabilizers). There’s a list of labs that the psychiatrists have to order to achieve this.
I know that Rx Specific Alerts can be created and linked to an orderset but the problem is that the alert configuration is PER medication and not by a defined rx-group or class of drugs. I’d have to build out alerts for each mood stabilizer by brand and generic, dosage forms, etc. This will be painful to build and will more importantly overload the right-chart panel with alerts.
Has anyone figured this or something similar out at their practice?
