Discussion

Side Effects may be difficult to associate with a single drug, or combination of drugs. They may also be unreported in the drug databases or medical literature. They may be identified as reactions or allergies to medications and they may psychosomatic.

The depth and width of information that can be associated with Side Effects is significant, making this a difficult topic to reduce to Electronic Healthcare Records.

A Patient's Practitioner(s) should be charged with the responsibility of reviewing and responding to the information provided in the CHR.
