To view a patient's electronic prescriptions

  1. How to get there

    1. If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search box to access the patient's record.

    2. On the Patient menu, under General, click (or tap) Prescriptions.

      The patient's Patient Prescriptions page opens.

    On a patient's Patient Prescriptions page, do any of the following:

    • In the Search box, begin typing part of a drug name. The matching prescriptions appear in expandable and collapsible sections by time frame (for example, 0-6 months). Continue typing as needed to narrow the search results.

    • Expand the sections to locate a prescription written in the past six months, six months to a year ago, or longer than a year ago.

  2. Select an electronic prescription. Electronic prescriptions are denoted by the word "Electronic."

    The selected prescription appears.

How to get there

  1. If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search box to access the patient's record.

    Note: You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients switch to On.

  2. On the Patient menu, under Clinical, click (or tap) Progress Notes.

    The patient's clinical record opens with the Progress Notes tab selected.
