• Key Concepts: 
  Alternative reference dose (ARD) is a feature of the IS-HMED Clinical System, which is part of the SAP Healthcare Information System. ARD is a tool used to compare the dose of a drug prescribed to a patient with the recommended dose for that drug. It helps healthcare professionals to ensure that the patient is receiving the correct dose of medication.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use ARD, healthcare professionals must first enter the patient's medical information into the IS-HMED Clinical System. This includes information such as age, weight, and medical history. Once this information is entered, ARD will compare the prescribed dose of medication with the recommended dose for that drug. If there is a discrepancy, ARD will alert the healthcare professional so that they can adjust the dose accordingly.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using ARD, it is important to ensure that all of the patient's medical information is up-to-date and accurate. This will help ensure that ARD provides an accurate comparison between the prescribed and recommended doses of medication. Additionally, it is important to remember that ARD is only a tool and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.
