Managing Medications

Managing Medications

Users can manage medications without actually prescribing medications using the Manage Medications link.

To add a medication:

1. Type in a medication and click Find.

2. Select medication from list provided.
3. Enter in details of medication.

Note: Medications that you are adding are required to have the Date Started field entered to show in ChartLogic. If you wish to have the medication show on a encounter as a current medication for a new patient, the start date needs to be before the date of service. The reason for this is, is the ChartLogic software will see it as the patient taking the medication to a date before the date of service, and not starting them on the medication on that DOS similar to a prescription.

4. Click Continue.
5. Medication will now be in the patients chart.

Actions:

• Delete: Removes medication from history.
• Modify: Allows user to change sig information.
• Stop: Removes the medication from the medication list and archives it in the medication report.
• Unstop: Removes the medication from the archived list and returns it to the current medication list.

Note: Medications that you are stopping are required to have the Date Stopped field entered to stop showing in ChartLogic. If you wish to have the medication disappear on a note as a current medication for a patient, the stop date needs to be before the date of service. The reason for this is, is the ChartLogic software will see it as the patient taking the medication on the date of service if you were to specify to stop it on the same day.
