Current Medication List
A
Amy Ames
For prescribers using IntakeQ, it is a challenge to keep a list of patients' current medications, and to reconcile it every appointment. I imagine most users do what I do, which is have the med list as a pinned question within your note. It would be SO great if there were an option for a medication list to exist as something more than a pinned question, so it could be updated in real time, in between appointments, without having to create and lock a note. A truly accurate medication record would require more than the current template question options offer.
Because my ability to articulate what more is needed is limited at best--here is a link to a best practice guide to medication lists in EHR.

This is what is making us look elsewhere as well. It can lead to irresponsibility at best on the part of our provders!

the issue is only the precriber can see the medication and to download them. med staff needs to be able to review

I am about ready to look elsewhere. The patient should have a summary page that lists their medications, allergies, medical history, social history, etc separate from the note, but printable if needed. This needs to automatically update when they are updated or entered in the note. The only way they pull through anywhere is if they are pinned to the same note type and same format. I can't take the extra work any more. Look at Epic, Practice Fusion, EHRYourWay, eCW, they seem to know how to do this. I am not a programmer, I am a medical provider. PLEASE MAKE THIS FUNCTIONAL.

I agree, the way this is setup is ridiculous.

I am currently using the "medications" feature, but it would be great if you could add/edit the list from the note. Right now you can only say if they are still taking something already on the list. Which means you then have to go out of the note to add medications. (Which is confusing itself considering there are several options to see the list, but only some of them allow you to add medications that other physicians are prescribing). My suggestion would be to be able to view and select medications you wish to add from the patient's downloaded pharmacy history in addition to an option to manually add/delete medications all within the note.

I'm wondering if this would encompass what I came here to request. The current template "Medications" Question Type isn't functional because it doesn't list only current medications. If I auto send it to clients for them to verify that their current meds are correct it sends them a jumbled mess of old medications with current ones mixed in there and a separate medication for each time I sent a refill and sometimes doesn't even having their current medications on the list.

Same problem for using it within the note, it pulls in a mess.

Baili Reichenberger Agreed! If I wrote a one-time prescription, why does it show up on every note asking if they're still taking it?!

Is there an update about this feature for non prescribing providers?

I can update the med list without unlocking a note because we added the list to our overview page and it pulls into every note. Although, I do not have it set up to pull in info from erx yet. But anyone can update the med list, for example my RN calls in a RX on my behalf, while I’m out, she can add it to the list.
