Overview  

This article provides instructions on prescribing medications for clients.

You can prescribe a medication directly from the progress note created for the client. Once prescribed, the medication appears in the Medications box on the progress note. When you compile the note, the medication is also included in the compiled note.

Note:

• Medications in the Medications box: Only medications prescribed or discontinued within a specific note are displayed in the Medications box for that note.
  
• Medications in the compiled note: The compiled note includes all active medications for the client. However, the Medications box only lists medications prescribed from the specific note.
