Re: [Health-dev] Fw: Medication product strength.

[address@hidden]

Thanks Luis for the insightful reply.

We need to somehow develop the idea of 
"Product Strength" (how much active ingredient is contained in an actual
dose 
unit) and how we can create a medication product database/dataset which will 
allow interchangable calculations of dose in g/mg/microgram or 
capsules/tablets/ml/doses.

Prescribers need the flexibility to prescribe in mg 
or capsules so GNU Health will need some sort of conversion table/calculation 
which will need to be configured for each medication product by a clinical 
administrator.

I attach a spreadsheet to illustrate what I mean. 

Over to you 
to work out how best to do this computationally :-)

Andrew
