This week I am experimenting with something new, that is providing links to videos within the body of the document to show and or explain something.  I just realised this was possible even though when I think about it, it’s a pretty obvious thing to do.  To play the video, hold down the Ctrl key and click on the video.

Please let me know if you think this works well or would you prefer the traditional document format with screen shots.  If you like it, I’ll use it occasionally in the future for more complex tips, like todays.  I know it’s more a GP topic today but other weeks its more Nurse or PM oriented, I do try and balance it out over time.

(Additional note – the tips are shared with PMs and Nurses but separately.  This version goes to the GP Discussion forum and hence to GPs only so if you reply it only goes to the GP forum and nobody else or you can mail me directly at mjoyce@centrichealthblessington.iemailto:mjoyce@centrichealthblessington.ie ).

As you know when prescribing, every time you add a prescription you have to enter from scratch the complete dosing instructions.  Standard scripts is a way that you can add drugs with default dosing already entered.

This is how it works:

And this is how to set up standard scripts:
