Answer to Question 1

It allows the provider and the patient to meet in real-time.

Answer to Question 2

Any four of the following:
If there is a conflict with any drug the patient is already taking.
Ingredients that make up the drug are checked against the ingredients of current medications to see if they conflict or would hinder the effectiveness of the drug.
Drugs are checked for duplicate therapy, which occurs when a patient is taking a different drug of the same class that would have the effect of an overdose.
Allergy records are checked for food and drug allergies that would be aggravated by the new drug.
The patient's diagnosis history is checked to see if the patient has a medical condition that the drug would negatively affect.
A patient education alert is created when the drug might be affected by certain foods or alcohol interactions.
If the Sig has been entered at the time of the DUR, then it is also checked to see if it matches recommended guidelines for the drug. Too much, too little, too many days, or too many refills could cause overdosing, under dosing (causing it to be ineffective), or abuse.
