Post Date Scripts

midder wrote on Thursday, May 24, 2012:

We have a few docs who are wondering if there is a way to post date prescriptions. IE if they print it today, it needs to have next month’s date on it. Is there a way to do this in OpenEMR?

Thanks

Hi Brian,

There is actually a Starting Date field when you enter in the prescription, however, it does not seem to work and does not seem to be outputted anywhere. It does not work, because it for some reason does not populate the start_date field in the prescriptions sql table when the script is saved. So, if this bug is fixed, then can simply output this field onto the script somewhere.

Interesting,
The start_data sql column in the prescriptions sql table is now getting populated and modified correctly on the master branch (so, closing this bug). Thus, for Brian’s feature, simply need to add some code to output the start_data on the prescription.
