I have been getting duplicate entries of prescriptions as well. I am trying to figure out when it happens.

Part of the problem for me is it is annoying to:

1. Be warned that the medication is inactive. Who cares, I wouldn't have selected it, if I didn't want to prescribe it.
2. Then it only moves it to the active list and still doesn't prescribe it.
3. I then have to back and prescribe it.

It's worse than Microsoft.

So, I have to click once to get to the inactive list, click again to select the medication, click yes I do want to prescribe it even though it is in the inactive list, click again to get back to the active list, click again to load the medication into the prescription writer and then click yet again to actually put the med on the right hand side. That is six clicks.

It should actually take, one click to get to inactive list, one click to load the medication and one click to move it to the right hand side. That's three clicks. I think one of every programmer's goal is to reduce clicks. Usually even one click is helpful, but saving three clicks would be at least an hour per month.
