Idea Status:
IV medications cost much more than PO. Prescribers are unaware of the cost difference.
IDEA: Empower the prescriber! During order entry in Apex, display the cost difference for medications that are available in both IV/PO forms. For example, an entry for Doxycycline IV will carry the following message to the prescriber. "Please consider ordering doxycyline via oral route if clinically appropriate. Cost difference $224.65 IV vs $1.24 PO."
