Drug Therapy Problem (DTP)

A Drug Therapy Problem (DTP) for a patient’s prescription in the Medication Record tab can be documented during a medication review in Patient Centre. The Follow-Up tab displays details for each drug that has been flagged as DTP in the Medication Record tab. All fields are mandatory. Once complete, the form will be read-only.

To document a DTP:

1. In the medication review, select the Medication Record tab.
2. Select the DTP checkbox for the prescription that requires a DTP.
   
3. Select the Follow-up tab to complete the documentation.
4. Enter information into all of the field. All fields are mandatory.
   

   Note: If the follow-up is due to an issue outside of a DTP, it can be added as an issue rather than as a DTP. When the Add Issue button is selected, a text box will open to document the issue.

Once the medication review is finished and the Complete button is selected, an Activity for the DTP follow-up will be created in the Nexxsys Activities > To Do tab.
