▪ While many are based on AMH Children’s, the system does not
replace the need of the doctor to look up and select the
appropriate dose for the patient.
▪ If none of the order sentences are appropriate, choose the closest
and you will be able to modify later
▪ Terminologies such as OD, BD and TDS, STAT are not in ieMR
Dose Calculator Information
The dose calculator will launch for medication order sentences that
require a calculation i.e. mg/kg or mg/m2. If the patient has a weight,
height or creatinine clearance documented, this will auto-populate
within the dose calculator.
The dose calculator will only pull in data within its validity period:
• Weight is valid for 7 days
• Height is valid for 90 days
• Creatinine clearance is valid for 7 days
Dose Calculator can also calculate dosing based on Body Surface Area
using the Mosteller algorithm
5. Select the drop-down arrow next to the Rounding Rule field
6. Adjust Rounding Rule to Down nearest one hundred and twenty-
five
Note: This will adjust the Final Dose field to the new rounded dose
which will be 500mg (As this is a tablet form dose, the dose should be
the size of the tablet or half/quarter if the tablet is scored).
7. Input Adjust Reason as Dose Rounded
8. Click Apply Dose
9. The order will populate in the scratchpad and you will be able to
add further medication orders.

(60mg/kg, Injection, IV, 6 hourly, infuse over 30 minute(s))
13. This will launch the Dose Calculator
14. Select Apply Standard Dose.
This will fire the Allergy Interaction Checking Rule. This window
displays clinically appropriate information about the allergy and the
medication that have potential to interact. This is a decision support
window only and relies on prescribers to use their clinical judgement to
override the alert or remove the identified order. This also fires for
duplicate orders
15. Tick to Remove Identified Order and click OK
16. Search for the search for the final medication:
a. Cefotax 50 and select cefOTAXIME (50 mg/kg, Injection, IV,

(patients weight).
19. Select Apply Standard Dose
Again, this will fire the Allergy Interaction Checking Rule.
20. Select “Clinical judgement applied” in the Current Override Reason
drop down menu, click OK.

21. Click Done
Important Note: At TTH prescribers are required to choose only
one route of administration for PRN medications. If more than one route
of administration is required, a second order should be written with the
recognition this may carry a risk of over-dosing.
Complete the order details for each medication:
1. Paracetamol 500 mg oral tablet (15 mg/kg, Tablet, Oral, FOUR
times a day)
a. Indication: Pain
b. Select the Frequency drop down and click the ellipsis icon

(Do not sign medications yet)
2. Ibuprofen 100 mg/5 mL oral suspension (10 mg/kg,
Suspension, Oral, THREE times a day, PRN for pain/fever,
Indication: -)
a. Select PRN reason: pain/fever
b. In Max PRN dose/24hr enter: 1020mg (this is 3 doses of
340mg)
Max PRN dose will not automatically calculate based on the
dose applied. It is still the responsibility of the prescriber to determine
what they would like the Max dose to be and complete this section.
Prescribers should be aware that entering a Max dose will NOT provide
an alert to staff if they attempt to prescribe above the designated max
dose.
It is a paediatric specific that dose ranges SHOULD NOT be used for
paediatric patients to help minimize the risk of overdosing to patients. It
is the responsibility of the prescriber to choose the dose that is clinically

relevant for their patient and review regularly to determine if a different
dose/frequency for the PRN medication is required.
3. Cetirizine (10mg, Oral, ONCE only)
a. Highlight that the Frequency is ONCE only
b. It is good protocol to then check the First Dose Priority: For
ONCE ONLY order sentences this should pre-populate to
NOW, however, if this is not the case this should be changed
by using the drop-down arrows
c. Indication: Itch
4. cefOTAXIME (50 mg/kg, Injection, IV, 6 hourly)
a. Enter Indication: Infection
b. First Dose Priority pre-populated to: NOW
Important Note: If the first dose priority is set to NOW and the
frequency is set to scheduled, there may be a risk of repeat dosing within
a small-time period depending on the default scheduled times.
5. Adjust Frequency to THREE times a day
6. Select !Review Schedule to review the first dose date/time and
ensure the next administration time is correct
7. For training today; Keep the Frequency as THREE times a day
and change the First Dose Priority to ROUTINE
Important note: At TTH prescribers are required to obtain ID
approval codes, some antibiotics are restricted for appropriate use and
need approval from infectious diseases.

2. Select New Folder, enter a name for the folder and click ok. The
medication will save into your favourites folder.
3. Click OK to sign the medications just ordered
Note: When ordering IV Antibiotics, the first dose priority will
automatically be set to NOW. This will place a STAT order for the
antibiotic in the medication chart and then the next dose at either a
Scheduled or Interval frequency. If the frequency is set to Schedule (e.g.
TWO/THREE/FOUR times a day), there is a risk that the next dose may
be within a small-time period causing overdosing. To prevent this there
are multiple options depending on the clinical scenario.
a. Using the Skip Administration of the next dose function;
▪ Patient will receive a STAT dose now, the next scheduled
dose will be withheld, then administration will continue
as per the schedule
b. Change the First Dose Priority from NOW to ROUTINE;
▪ The first dose will occur at the next scheduled time rather
than STAT
c. Modify the Frequency to an hourly interval (e.g. change to 8
hourly instead of THREE times daily)

order sentence does not exist/or match your requirements. Below is an
example of manually adding an additive to a base solution

Note: Viewing the Details Tab is the only way to determine if an infusion is truly continuous, or if the order has a duration.
If a second or third bag is required, you will need to create a fluid
sequence.
11. Sign order
Creating a Sequence of Fluid Orders
Creating a fluid sequence order is the easiest way to chart a series of
fluid orders to run successively. For example, a patient requires fluid
rehydration – 3 bags to run one after another. To preview this, we will
order the NAC Infusion Sequence
1. Navigate to the Orders page of the patient chart.
2. Click Add+
3. In the Enter name to create sequence field, enter NAC Infusion
Sequence and then press Enter.
4. The lower half of the screen has updated with the name of your
pending sequence.
