Grouping Medications By Payer, Problem and Practice

The Medication Tasks master file enables you to group all medications in the database by payer, by a problem's diagnosis, and by a practice interface Medications grouped by:

  • Payer allows you to efficiently search for medications in NextGen® Enterprise EHR by a payer name.
  • Problem enables you to efficiently search for medications in NextGen® Enterprise EHR by a diagnosis. The diagnoses are set up in the ICD9CM master file. The Medications By Problem master file is user-defined.
  • Practice interface provides a list of the medications that the practice's internal pharmacy provides. It is not an inventory list. You can add and remove medications to the list. The medications display when you elect to send electronic prescriptions to a pharmacy interface in the new Medication Module. The medications are automatically sent to the default pharmacy interface that you set in the Medication Practice Preferences.
