The Units table allows for the setup of units that are selected when utilizing the Home Medication Entry and New Prescription options.  These units display in a drop-down in both the Medication Reconciliation and Prescription Entry applications. Since the information on the patient's discharge medications will pull to the patient's Discharge Instructions report, these units are typically entered in layman's terms. During setup, units are linked with the pharmacy hospital Frequency Table to allow for an easy transition between Admission Reconciliation and Prescription Entry.
