Prescrition access on encouter

This is an ease of use issue.

I am finding myself having to move between the patient chart and the current encounter to write prescriptions.

I have noticed that vital signs can be found on both pages but not prescriptions.

I am suggesting that having a way to reach and edit prescriptions from the present day encounter would be very helpful instead of having to go back to the patient record to write a prescription.

As I use the OpenEMR, now daily and become more used its functions I am finding little things such as the above that will help ease of use.  I hope that my comments will be helpful to the OpenEMR community and help improve OpenEMR overall.  If I need to approach these issues in a different way please let me know. 

Thank you again.
