And remember, you can't "push" the key, you have to "poush" the key.
I would like once more to ask Vinny create an icon or button on the main screen or on the script writer to allow one-click changing between print formats, i.e. 4 by 6 or 8 1/2 by 11.
And, while we are all referencing the prescription writer, here is something I have wanted forever. At the present, you can see the active meds in the script writer, and you can click to inactive meds. You can even click on All meds and get a complete list.
I see many patients as I am sure many of you do that are on a lot of meds and a lot of changing medications. Especially patients on psychotropic medications. For example, I may have a 13 year old on Abilify, Concerta and Wellbutrin. In the past, they have been on and failed Seroquel, Focalin XR, Zoloft and Remeron. In the current format, as you are interviewing the patient and trying to come up with a different medication regimen, when you consider other medications, you have to constantly click over to inactive medications. Many times I forget to do this, and I suggest we try Seroquel, and the parent looks at me and tells me, "We tried Seroquel and he had this horrible dystonic reaction." I know -- Abilify probably wouldn't have been a good choice, lol. But, it's embarrassing to offer medication choices that have been used in the past. And, going back and forth is problematic. Even if you choose all medications, they get listed alphabetically and not by active and inactive. Even putting the active on top and the inactive on the botton and highlighting one set would be helpful. But, if we overhaul the script writer, I would suggest have two lists visible at all times: The active meds and the inactive meds. Or have a choice to show all of the inactive medications. Also, the way it is now, when you write a comment, you can only see it by highlighting the medication. I would propose that the list of inactive medications have the comment next to them so you could see that Zolft didn't work and Remeron caused hives.
Would love to hear other comments.
