NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO ON THE CURRENT MED LIST OF A VISIT BEFORE OR AFTER A VISIT, any prescription written by the script writer on the Assessment and Plan side of the note will NOT populate the current med section for that visit.
Peggy, my sentence above is somewhat confusing. I think what I was saying was no matter what you do on the current med list of a visit, any prescription written by the script writer on the A/P side, will not populate the current med section. I now see what you are saying and stand somewhat corrected, lol, but still do stand by what I was saying. Once you write a new med, THEN, close the note, nothing happens to the other side.
I now finally see what you are saying. If you write a new medication, then open the current meds, the new medication populates the current meds, which is certainly NOT what you want. So, I see your issue. But...
I don't think this is a bug in the program. I think it is doing exactly what you are telling it to do. You already know if it is used in the right order, that current medications will be correct and the new scripts will show up correctly. But, in your scenario of opening current med section to make changes AFTER prescribing medications by the script writer, you will have the new meds in the wrong place.
But..the key here is that as soon as you write a new med it now not only populates the plan section, it is now in the prescriptions list -- it is in the script writer window and always will be there forever unless deleted later. So, in THAT visit if you open the current medication window it WILL show the new medication as you state.
