You have the ability to configure a No Active Medications option via the patient's Face Sheet that allows you to track that a patient is not currently taking any medications.
Open an existing or new Chart Note for the patient.
In the patient's Face Sheet, click *
button next to the Indicate as No Active
Medications option.
When this option is selected the Face Sheet will be updated with a
"No Active Medications" entry, the history tab and the audit
trail will also list applicable entries for this event, and a drug log
will automatically be generated for the patient with the applicable No
Active Medications information.
NOTE: You also have the ability to Renew and Discontinue the No Active
Medications entry in a similar manner you would renew or discontinue a
medication. Whenever a No Active Medications entry is renewed or discontinued,
the applicable Face Sheet, History, and Audit Trail entries will be updated
and a drug log will be generated with the applicable information regarding
the renewal or discontinuation.
NOTE: Once a medication is prescribed for a patient, the "No Active
Medications" entry will be automatically removed from the Face Sheet.
