Informatisation of drug prescription is an important topic in medical informatics. For several years now, computerized drug databases have been implemented. Usually only a small part of the prescriptions can be stored in prescription systems because of the format of the included information; prescriptions contain essentially free text without any structure and homogeneity of the used vocabulary. In this article a model is presented for knowledge representation in a computerized drug prescription system. The model should be applicable to clinical practice and be didactic for medical students. The problem of standardization of terminology had to be solved. A computer-assisted drug prescription program has been developed. The next step is its validation by clinicians. The program can also be used in a consultation mode.
