e-Prescribing incentives

Here's my current development with the RxNorm API

http://screencast.com/t/VzUMdwP2b4H

It's not too slow .. and we are only using it for searching for a drug.

It may be a lot faster if you live on the American continent.

The good thing about the RxNorm database is that it is updated monthly.

The bad thing is that it is a web service and is not as fast as using Synapse's database.

So, we could cache the database call and periodically at night, run updates.


There are 4 calls involved.

1. Fetch all the drugs that match the spelling of a word
2. Fetch all the drugs containing the drug found in step 1.
3. Fetch all the details of that drug
4. Fetch the ingredients of that drug.

Graham,

I see the new e-prescribing page under Settings-->User-->E-prescribing that is set to work with SureScripts. Is any part of that working right now?

None, I'm afraid.

It's just scaffolding I put in ..
