As I contemplate upgrading this week, I have two questions for the brave souls here who have already blazed a trail on the mapping processes.
The first is: why not have a very low threshold to 'free text' medications, rather than mapping them, especially if there is any difficulty quickly finding a match? This would be especially true if you do not expect to be prescribing the medication regularly in the future. To put it another way... what exactly is the downside of having the medication as a free text'? It basically just means that IF you prescribe it in the future, you will need to find it in the new database at that time, right?
