Definitions
Adverse drug reaction (ADR)
A form of adverse consequences. It may be either a secondary effect of a medication that is usually undesirable and different from the therapeutic effect of the medication or any response to a medication that is noxious and unintended and occurs in doses for prophylaxis, diagnosis, or treatment.
"Side effect"
Often used interchangeable with ADR, however, side effects are one of five ADR categories, the others being hypersensitivity, idiosyncratic response, toxic reactions, and adverse medication interactions. A side effect is an expected, well-known reaction that occurs with a predictable frequency and may or may not constitute an adverse consequence.
Indication
Identified, documented clinical rationale for administering a medication that is based upon a physician's (or prescirber's) assessment of the patient's condition and therapeutic goals.
Classification Tips:
- Include all routes
- Medications with more than one high risk classification, must include coded/assessed/documented in all of the classes that constitute the combination.
- Long-acting medications including all routes (oral, injection, patches, etc.) given weekly and/or monthly should be considered when classifying medications.
