Hi All,

I'm wondering how to best handle this message sitution:

A patient calls the office, I take the call and I speak with her. She is having anxiety and would do well with the little lorazapam.

I want to document the conversation and also document a new script which will become part of her medication history.

How are people most successfully doing this? (this exchange did *not* take place via a message transmitted to me through AC message center, so I can not simply reply back to a message).

Currently I see one of a few possibilities -- none perfect:

1. Enter a brand-new note in most recent encounters

2. Try using the "addendum" function (though it does not appear to have an Rx writer)

3. Somehow make myself a message in the message center which I can then save and use the "refill" function to generate a prescription.

Thoughts? Suggestons? ideas? (perhaps we'll take a "poll"?) - (a tribute to Bert wink )
