Previously, when you were adding a medication to a patient, and the correct medication did not exist in your library, you could add the medication to the patient but not add it to your library. Now, when you are adding a patient-specific medication, there is an option that allows you to add the medication to your library, too.
To add a patient-specific medication to your library
1. On the Medical Alerts/ Medications tab of a patient’s Patient Information page, click Add Medication.
The Add Medication dialog box appears.
2. In the Medication name box, begin typing the name of a medication to view a list of matching medications from your library. Continue typing as needed to narrow down the results list.
3. If the correct medication does not appear on the results list (it does not exist in your library), select the Create Patient Specific/New Medication – ([medication name]) option to create a patient-specific medication.
The other options for the medication become available.
4. Change the visibility and/or criticality, and/or enter any applicable notes as needed.
5. Set the Add to library switch to Yes to add the medication to your library.
Note: The specified visibility and criticality will be the default settings for the medication in your library.
6. Click Add.
