How to search for a drug

ClinicYou creates a clinic-wide list of drugs on the fly, as you and your colleagues work. As you add drugs to your patients' medical records, they are added to your clinic's personal database of drugs (similar to how diagnosis and procedures are added to your list). Once in the database, they autosuggest as you type next time.


Icons at the top of the EMR page gives you quick access to coding diagnoses and drugs


Add Diagnoses and Drugs

You can manually type drug names and doses in, but can also search an online resource to find available drug names and doses quickly. This is how it is done:

Type a few letters of the drug, then click the lens icon next to the field
A panel with the matching names will appear below the patient drug list
You can copy and paste those in the drug name field for accuracy


Find Drugs

From August 2023, we have another way of adding drugs to the list on patient's medical records. With the 'more' actions buttons visible on the left of the notes entry (to open those, click the small triangle), click the magic wand icon. This will display a popup which gives you a way of extracting SNOMED codes from the notes text and any drug names. Once a list of names / codes are displayed, you can select desired ones and add them to the list with a single click.


Magically Extract Diagnoses and Drugs

You can trim and clean up the text, or add dose information if you wish before adding the items extracted.
