Therapies

   

Overview

The Therapy Application is a web application that aims to help healthcare professionals (from now on HCPs) to manage the information related to the treatments that were prescribed to the patient.

The application allows HCPs to:

● add a new treatment

● see an overview of the (previously entered) treatments that are prescribed to their patients

● show treatment information entered in the EMR, for those customers with an integration with their healthcare information systems

The treatment information managed consists of (but is not limited to) medications (e.g. drug name, drug class, posology, start and end date of the treatment, etc.) and testing guidelines prescribed to the patient. The information added by the HCP is not modified nor interpreted. The principal function of the application is to store the information which is entered by the user, and after that, to search after it by filtering it without any interpretation or modification from the system.

The application is created to be accessed from the RocheDiabetes Care Platform.
