Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing drug therapeutic class information. For each drug, a class describing the drug at a particular level of specificity is indicated for display and/or for use in grouping the respective drug, and a display name is associated with the drug class. Thus, the user is able to select a particular class based on the drug's required mode of action or disease to be treated, and all drugs grouped under that class may be displayed to facilitate the prescribing of drugs to the patient. In addition, a list of drugs taken by the patient pre-admittance and/or a list of drugs taken by the patient during his/her stay at the healthcare facility may be presented to the user in groups according to the indicated class. Thus, the healthcare professional may avoid duplication or omission of drugs to be prescribed to the patient, for example, upon discharge.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for determining a change in a level of care for a patient(s). The apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor configured to determine that at least one of an admission of a patient to a health care facility, a discharge of the patient from the health care facility, or a transfer of the patient within the health care facility triggered a level of care change event associated with the patient. The processor is also configured to identify a care event(s) for the patient in response to determining that the level of care change event was triggered. The processor is also configured to generate a notification(s) to perform a task(s) associated with the care event(s) for the patient and associate the care event(s) and a task(s) with the triggered level of care change event. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.
