How to Use the Pabau AI Tool for Prescriptions

The primary function of the Pabau AI in prescriptions is to offer recommended medications based on allergies and client problems, assisting the physician in creating a successful treatment plan.

In the case of prescriptions, the AI tool helps to combine several types of information:

1. Suggestions for drugs suited to treat the client's problems, as recorded in their client card.
2. Drugs that should be avoided based on the client's listed allergies.
3. Drugs that should be avoided based on alerts present on the client card.
4. Possible issues based on previous drugs prescribed for that client.

We can utilize the AI tool while creating a prescription. After selecting a drug, we can find the "Generate" option on the right side of the screen.

When you click on "Generate," you will be provided with important details about the drug, including its potential effects on the client, possible reactions, and benefits.

Using the Pabau AI tool for prescriptions can enhance the efficiency of your prescription process. By generating detailed information about drugs tailored to each client's specific needs, you can ensure that prescriptions are personalized.
