Patient Medication

You can view the patient's active medications and the medications prescribed, modified, and renewed during the selected encounter in the Medications panel. You can enter additional prescriptions for the patient, and reconcile the medications listed with what medications the patient is actually consuming and how the patient is consuming them.

The No medications this encounter check box selection is encounter-based. If you select the No medications this encounter check box for a previous encounter and prescribe medication in a current encounter by selecting the Prescribed Elsewhere check box, then the No medications this encounter check box for the previous encounter remains selected.

The patients can now view the active medications and medications prescribed during the selected encounter in the documents.
