3 CONSIDERATIONS
Mobile Practice functionality follows documented design conventions, found here
https://sites.google.com/a/meditech.com/lss-design/standards/mobile-design-standards (Design Google Site > Mobile
Design Standards). The updated medications data conventions are a signficant part of this project and the documentation
can be found at the URL above.
All functionality in Mobile Practice should function like the FS clinical applications, unless otherwise noted.
Technical:
Details about matching drugs to find alternate strengths can be found in this project's technical specification.
Quality Control:
Drug strength lists should work for all drugs entered in mobile practice but may have variable success for drugs entered in
FS depending on dictionary setup.
The updated medication display formats are a large change with this project, see the data convention for medications and
the list of medication display locations in "Selecting a Design Element" to verify the display is correct throughout the
system.
Be sure to test the medication form OV String Mapping outlined in the Dictionaries section.
