I want to add a medication to the patient’s dashboard by clicking the ‘Medication’ button at the top right of the screen, but it only shows me a list of three medications, and I cannot select anything other than those. These medications are not available in the inventory, and I’m not sure how to add more options to the list.
You can do to Admin >> Forms >> Lists >> Medication Issue List and you can add more medications there.
You could also select medications by searching the field Title for the medication you need assuming you installed the RxNorm datasets
Hello @sinar
I see this is the first time you’ve posted to the forum- welcome to the community!
To more fully answer your question, editing the Medication Issue List does indeed change the list displayed in that panel. However, those are strictly ‘shortcuts’ as it were, which only prevent the user from needing to enter the name of the medication. No other information is entered when the med name in the list is selected. So ultimately the user has to either manually enter the prescription sig or access the RxNorm database, if installed.
Hope that clarification was helpful.
