Before they can be used, the entries in the formulary must be activated. If an entry is deactivated, a reason must be entered.

When a drug is ordered a reason can be entered (therapeutic, prophylactic, empiric).

A reason must be entered if there is a time or quantity difference between ordered and actually administered drugs.

If an ordered drug is not administered a reason must be entered.
