Requesting Med Hx From EMR – How-to

You can request a patient’s Med Hx from the EMR Prescribing network. To do this make sure you are inside any type of update including but not limited to Office Visits, Orders Only, Phone Note and Preload encounters. NOTE: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO GET THE CONSENT OF PATIENT BEFORE DOING THIS.

While inside an update click on the Meds button.
Once inside the Update Medications module click on the Med Hx button.
Fill out the relevant information below. NOTE: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO GET THE CONSENT OF PATIENT BEFORE DOING THIS.
- Select the correct Requesting Provider from the drop-down list.
- Select the consent status from the drop-down list.
- Select the Date Range if applicable (optional).
- Click the Request Med Hx button.
  
  The medications will take about one minute to populate a month’s request. The longer the date range the longer it will take to populate.
- Click Refresh Grid after 1 or 2 minutes.
- Select the medication you want to add.
- Click Add to Current Meds.
If the medication is not a part of the EMR formulary you will be taken to the find medication window. If the medication is a part of the formulary you will be taken to the add new medication window where you will need to complete the refill portion.
