[Rcopia4] Using the Medication History Feature

Rcopia 4 has the ability to obtain medication history for up to one year on patients from SureScripts. SureScripts receives medication information from two sources, Pharmacy Fill data and Payer Claims information. To pull a patient’s medication history, complete the following steps:

From a patient’s chart (via Demographics or a prescribing progress note) enter the DrFirst e-prescribing module.

Click on Show Medication History button from within the Medications widget.

Patient medication information is displayed according to his/her primary insurance company's records. If the patient has more than one insurance company, this information will be listed for selection in the Pharmacy Benefit dropdown list. 

Use the dropdown list to select the appropriate time period.

The results will display. By clicking on the +signs, you can see a more detailed record of the patient's medication history, including sig, prescribing provider, pharmacy where it was filled, quantity, and refills (a clue to compliance).

Medications can be added by checking the box to the left of the medication's listing and clicking on the Add to Active Medications button. This will copy all of the medication's information to the patient's active medication list. 

If a medication on the patient's medication history is already added as an Active Medication, it will display as gray in color and with an italicized font. Hovering over the medication will indicate to users that it is already marked as active.
