Background
Epic “E00124 - convert generic medication into a proprietary medication at the point of prescribing” within the Prescribing Capability currently references the British National Formulary (BNF) in the Additional Implementation Details. As the BNF is a commercially licensed resource, the Epic is being updated to allow for any authoritative source, rather than referencing a specific one.
Furthermore, the Additional Implementation Details section of E00124 has been updated to reflect that Solutions should instead warn when links between generic and proprietary equivalents are not appropriate, removing the need for Solutions to prevent such links.
