Adding or Inactivating a DUR
A Drug Utilization Review (DUR) can be added to a patient's profile to track OTCs or medication filled at other locations, to ensure interaction checking occurs. When adding or removing a DUR in Patient Centre, Nexxsys is automatically updated with this information.

The Adding a DUR window appears.
- Search for and select the drug. The New DUR window appears.
- Enter the following information:

- Select OK. The DUR is added and is displays in the Medication Record tab. The DUR is automatically added to the patient's Profile tab in Nexxsys.
Removing a DUR
To remove a DUR:
- In the medication review, select the Medication Record tab.
