Dispensing Label Associated with templates & turning on/off dose rate calculation in templates

Hi,

Would it be possible to have a dispensing label associated with a product template?

Reason.

We have butorphanol injection. We want this to be in 3 different templates.

1)- Butorphanol sedative injection

2)- Butorphanol CRI - 20mL syringe

3)- Butorphanol CRI - 60mL syringe

In cases 2 and 3 we do NOT want dose rates to auto-calcuate. We want a fixed amount dispensed.

In case 1 we don't want a label printed, and in cases 2 and 3 we want a label to print but ideally each label would be different in content.

I can't see a way of achieving this currently without

a) Being able to turn dose rate calculation on/off in templates.

b) Having an label instructions field in templates.

Thanks,

Adrian

This isn't supported. There would need to be a flag in the template to indicate that the template quantity overrides the dose configured on the medication. How does the label differ in each case?

The amount changes because in a 20mL syringe we might want 2mL of drug and a 60mL syringe 6mL of drug.

The label changes because:

1) The drug on its own as an injection doesn't need a label

2) The syringe 20mL would ideally have instructions such as "Add 2mL drug to 18mL saline"

3) The syringe 60mL would ideally have instructions such as "Add 6mL drug to 54mL saline"
