Bring a link to Prescription Under encounter Window.
it would be more meaningful if there is a dropdown in encounter page for prescribing drugs.
And whatever we prescribe in the particular encounters is displayed onthe main page of the patient as well like it is now.
there should be no option on the main page to add a drug.
like indicated below
To add a drug option should be visible only on the encounters page.
like here
the way it is now it is confusing a bit.
I share your point of view, at Perú, medication only comes after a medical encounter, and you could have your drugs prescription inside encounter data.
Any advice to get it ?
Well, it is possible.
It requires customization.
To add anything on the encounter page, you can look into
/interface/patient_file/encounter/forms.php
(That is if you want don’t mind modifying the core code - no recommended)
Or you can create an encounter form to display/mimic the prescription card on the patient’s dashboard.
Hope it works well for you
Hello @Fernando_Guerra
For a general- purpose application like OpenEMR one may need to adjust one’s habits to fit how the application is built. Or of course the alternative is to customize the coding of the application.
If you’re open to slightly changing how you order medications OpenEMR does allow you to do that while you are in an encounter.
When you open a patient record, the patient’s dashboard is one of the tabs that opens automatically (oval in img below).
Then you can create a new encounter or open an existing one which will appear in its own tab (arrow).
If you need to prescribe while writing the encounter, simply click the Dashboard tab, scroll down to the Prescriptions widget and add the prescription. You can go back and forth between tabs, charting in the encounter and writing prescriptions, as long as you stay in the same patient’s record. Remember to hit ‘Save’ in both tabs when finished in each tab.
Hope that works for you!
Best- Harley
This is a test pt prescription
if with filled column it can show the encounter no also it would be helpful.
if someone can guide where the code is i might try to add it. @sjpadgett
