Description
Review from physicians has highlighted inconsistencies in the modules, where many medications are being prescribed before those medications were actually available.
For example, the Lung Cancer module prescribes Cisplatin (FDA approved in the US in 1978) and Paclitaxel (first isolated in 1971, and FDA approved in 1993) with no date restrictions.
In addition to preventing drugs from being prescribed before actually available, the modules should take into account the medications previously available and used, and the impacts of those different drugs.
