Summary:Currently the ICT departments working together in the
Interuniversity Institute of Cardiology of the Netherlands are
conducting a research project to conceive and build an Electronic
Patient Record for CARdiology (EPD-CAR) In this paper one part of this
project, MMM the module designed to archive all (cardiac) medication
prescribed to a patient is discussed. This module not only forms a
electronic patient medication file but also can be used to create new
prescriptions, edit old ones and to generate all kind of overviews, like
given medication, stopped medication, etc. to support optimal medical
treatment. Apart from the features of the actual medication module, the
integration of the module in Hospital or Departmental Information
Systems is illustrated. Finally new options for research enabled by the
use of such a uniform module to document prescribed medication are
discussed
