The Medications tab in Patient Chart displays a patient’s active and historical medications. From the Medications table, you can refill prescriptions, print prescription information, link medications to open encounters, and more. This table also includes the unique, system-generated Rx # for each prescription.
Select Show All Medications below the grid to view medications in all statuses.
The Status column displays one of the following labels for each medication:
-
Active: Patient is currently taking the medication.
-
Inactive: Medication is marked as stopped.
-
Declined: Medication is declined by the client.
-
Refilled: Historical record for each time a prescription is refilled.
