Prescription Module in AxiUm
(for prescription and OTC medications)

Director of Quality Assurance, USCSD
With the implementation of AxiUm, our digital clinical information
system, we began building a prescription database in Jan. 2004. To
date, the database contains approximately 120 drugs (OTC and
prescribed) with a variety of dosages and routes of available
administration. The medication, dosage and frequency is selected
from a drop down menu and the entry is automatically entered in the
paperless therapy notes.
Printed Rx’s (from AxiUm) will be available in the near future, with the
exception of Schedule II drugs that MUST BE written on the USCSD
Security Rx pads.
In the near future, it will be acceptable, to print out Schedule III-V
drugs from Axium, but they must be faxed into the pharmacy by the
provider.
