[Health-dev] Prescribing medicines vs Administering medicines

[address@hidden]

Hello Luis

I think GNU Health needs to differentiate the date/time that a 
medication/vaccine is prescribed/ordered and the date/time that the medication 
is actually administered to the "person" by the appropriate healthcare 
professional - doctor/nurse etc.

Sometimes, if the medicine is a one-off dose 
(stat) then the doctor/prescriber might want to "prescribe and administer" in 
one single workflow process - a "prescribe and administer" button option would 
be very useful. 

I don't think that we should get too involved in the 
medication administration workflow just at the moment but we need to analyze 
and define the process for the development road-map.

Regards

Andrew
