Avoid mistakes from the prescription of the drug, to the choice and dispensing of drugs that can be confused because they are similar in appearance (Look Alike), as when listening (Sound-Alike), known as LASA (Look-Alike, Sound-Alike).

We include the settings in Charge Master tab to identify LASA medicines.
This configuration is only at system level.

When looking for a LASA drug just typing the name, it can be identified by its shading. This same feature can be seen in Physician Dashborad and Pharmacy Dashboard.

When the drug is select the system displays the message: LASA drug to validate that it is the correct product.

This same feature is in Pharmacy Dashboard when edit a prescription and look for a product.

In Product request function the LASA drug can be identified by its name in green.

When the drug is select the system displays the same message: LASA drug.

We hope this improves your Cirrus experience. Remember to share this information and ask for help if you need it.
