- Edit a recommendation
On the medication line click on the Edit button to open the charting box, edit the charting information and press Save.
- Recommend a Stop or Edit a medication
If the recommendation is an EDIT or STOP, it will link the recommendation to the current charted item but will not change the care facility interface until approved. i.e. The care facility will see the current charting and not the recommended change until a prescriber has confirmed this.
- To recommend a Stop
On the medication line click on Stop, enter a reason for stopping the medication. You can edit the stop date to set a pending stop as well. This puts a line above the chart as a recommended stop and highlights the medication line in the current list of meds.
You can also recommend that a medication is stopped and restarted from Regular to PRN or vice versa.
- To recommend an Edit
On the medication line click on Edit, this opens the medications information, make the edit, and click on Save. This puts a line above the chart as a recommended edit and highlights the medication line in the current list of meds.
