Clinic Favorite Medications

The Medplum-DoseSpot integration allows you to configure clinic favorite medications which can significantly reduce the number of clicks required for clinicians to prescribe common medications. This allows your organization to:

  • Standardize prescribing practices across your clinic to avoid mistakes and excessive clicks
  • Reduce prescription time for clinicians to prescribe frequently prescribed medications

How It Works​

When clinicians access the DoseSpot eRx iframe through Medplum, they'll see an option to start with one of your organization's favorite medications displayed when creating a new prescription. This allows them to:

  1. Quickly select from your organization's favorite medications
  2. Input Prescription Specifics: Edit any of the default details for the medication, like the strength, patient instructions, or dispense type that might need to be customized for this specific prescription
  3. Save the prescription

This Medplum Provider App DoseSpot page is an unopinionated example of a favorite medication management page. The building blocks for it are in the useDoseSpotClinicFormulary hook from the Medplum react hooks package. You can use this hook to build your own favorite medication management page, using your own frontend patterns and components.

The Provider App example implementation can be found here.
