eLJF-CLINICAL
Quick 6-step tutorial
in just 3 minutes
Step 1
Check version
• Do you have a ‘tab’
for eLJF-CLINICAL
installed on your
clinical profile?
• Is the current
version of eLJFCLINICAL installed?
• You can check the
LJF website to
confirm that you
have the correct
version of eLJFCLINICAL.
Step 2
Use the ‘GO’ button
• The ‘GO’ button can
be used to select
multiple products
within a drug
regimen.
• The best example is
when prescribing
‘just in case’
medicines for
palliative care.
• This technique can
also be used when
prescribing for H.
pylori eradication.
The result is a
highly accurate
prescription with
the correct dosing
instructions.
Step 3
Use a ‘short code’
•
Go to the ‘therapy’
tab. You can use a
‘short code’ (e.g.
p 5 t for
paracetamol
500mg tablets) to
prescribe a
common primary
care medicine.
•
There are many
other short codes
that can be used.
Create a list of
your top ten short
codes.
•
Some other
examples can be
found on the back
page of Lothian
Prescribing Bulletin
Issue 71
Step 4
Prescribe an antiemetic
• Note that the
recommended dose
and duration of use of
metoclopramide and
domperidone has
changed following
advice from the MHRA
and the LJF.
Step 5
Prescribe first line
•
Identify and
prescribe the first
line combination
inhaler for asthma.
•
Note that there is a
standard dose and
high dose option.
Step 6
Prescribe for a child
•
Go to the child
screen.
•
The children’s
chapter of eLJFCLINICAL uses age
specific filters to
obtain the correct
dose of medicine.
•
Prescribe
paracetamol for a
5-year-old child and
note that the dosing
is correct as per
current MHRA and
LJF guidance.
•
The accurate dosing
instruction helps to
ensure an adequate
dose of analgesia is
used.
