View Medication History via Prescribe Medication

You have the ability to view medication history for a patient from the SureScripts Network in the Prescribe Medication dialog when prescribing or renewing a medication. To access Medication History for a patient, the patient must have given medication history consent and it must be configured in the Consent dialog for that patient (via ID Tab > Consent or via the Medication History Consent button in Prescribe Medication dialog). Use the following steps to view medication history for a patient when in Prescribe Medication dialog.

 

 

  1. In the Prescribe Medication dialog, click the Medication History button.
     

  2. In the Medication History dialog, the patient basic demographic information will be listed, along with medication history for that patient. Beside the Medication History title, at the top of the dialog, the number of medication occurrences will appear in parentheses.

    When accessing the Medication History dialog, you may first receive a series of dialogs indicating that the system is gathering the information, or that the Medication History is pending for the patient. Likewise, you may also receive dialogs that indicate that there is no history information available for the patient, or that history information could not be retrieved. Typically, if you try back after a few minutes the medication history will be available.

    NOTE: When retrieving medication history via the Prescribe Medication dialog, you are unable to reconcile or import medications. To reconcile and import medications from the medication history from the SureScripts Network you need to access the Medication History dialog via Chart > Medication History when in the patient's chart.
     

  3. In the Filter By section, at the bottom of the dialog, select any Medication, Prescriber, and/or Last Fill Date range you would like to filter the medication history for, as needed, and then click the Filter button.
     

  4. You can then view the medication by scrolling through the Medication section, or print the medication history. When printing, only those medications that are included in the filter criteria will be printed or reconciled. To print the medication history for a patient, click the Print button.



     

  5. When finished viewing and/or printing medication history for the patient, click the Close button.
