Easy Search

Easy Search provides a simple way to search for and display commonly-requested PECS information. Easy Search differs from other methods for finding information in  that the results are display-only; the records displayed as a result of an Easy Search query cannot be modified. However, in some cases, a link is provided to an editable version of the resulting records.

Easy Search Queries

The Easy Search queries are slightly different depending on which type you want to perform.

Dose Range

This page allows you to easily query the appropriate dosage information based on the patient and dose particulars entered for a selected drug. The results of this query allow the user to ensure the amount being prescribed is an acceptable amount. An Easy Search Dose Range query allows you to find the acceptable dose range for a drug quickly and easily, and presents the results in an easy to understand format.

The Easy Search Drug-Drug Interaction query allows the user to easily search for any Drug-Drug Interactions (and associated Professional Monographs) that may exist within PECS for 2 to 10 drugs that are selected by the user. This page also allows the user to search for Duplicate Therapy information for any drug they select.
