Guidance

Introduction

An electronic display of a patient’s medications must be able to support the complex information needs of a wide range of health care professions and settings. A successful display solution must therefore take those information needs into account whilst ensuring patient safety and promoting consistency across views and between systems.

A list of medications is expected to be one of many ways of displaying medications information for a single patient. The information required for a medication review will vary for different contexts so guidance is provided for the needs that are common to all kinds of medications review. This list of medications forms only part of the Medications Management views and tools that would be available in a clinical application.

Important

Although it contains all of the guidance points, this document omits supporting information and is therefore not intended as a substitute for the full NHS CUI documents Medications List [1] . Refer to that document for the definitive statement of the design guidance in this area.

The visual representations used to display the guidance are illustrative only. Stylistic choices (for example, display font used), unless otherwise specified, are not part of the guidance and are therefore not mandatory requirements.

Date Columns

The specific information to display in date columns is not part of guidance because it needs to differ between tasks and contexts. Guidance is therefore provided for the relative placement of date columns.

Illustrations in this document use column headings with the following labels:

• Start Date for the start or initiation of a medication

• End Date for the end or completion of a medication
