I thought of two or three things I would like to see added to the prescription writer:
I would like to have the weight of the patient visible
somewhere on the prescription writer, so I can calculate pediatric dosages without referring back to the note (I always forget!).
I know this has been brought up several times, but I would like the "Allergies" field to be populated with what you add TODAY, not what you thought they were allergic to at their last visit a year ago.
If that is not possible for some reason, then let's try this approach: let the allergy field in the
progress note be entered via the
prescription writer, just as the medications are now.
(When you attempt to type
allergies directly into the "Allergies" field of the progress note, you would get the same little warning menu you get when you try to type
medications directly into the "Medication" field of the progress note).
