The design was posted on the wiki many, many months ago, would have been nice to get some feed back before the volunteers spent time implementing it just to have the whole thing rejected. It’s not going to make them very receptive to future work.
The design of the issues/list table is terrible and they did their best stuff the recon into it along with all the other crud.
I would have preferred to toss the whole thing and have separate tables for each kind of medical issue, then we could do a good job, instead of a hack job all the time. But that would be yet another big design that no one would look at until afterwards.
The reason the recon dates/info is on the issue summary page is so you can use it like you described - to see the list of meds and the last review date and then update it.

That said, Sam Bowen had similar feed back and, frankly I agree with you both, I’m not a doctor and I don’t do these activities myself, so I suggest some that someone that knows the specific use case post a new design proposal on the wiki and, hopefully, someone will be willing to do it. Screen mock ups are important for the volunteers to use to get a very clean idea of what you have in mind.
What has be submitted may not be optimal, but it will pass MU cert criteria, all that is required is a way to do it and log what you did. I, personally, thought it was important to put that fact that the drugs had been reviewed in the patient note where they could be part of the medical history, not just a audit log item, but perhaps I was wrong.
