Sorry that this partially duplicates a response I wrote to another question, from richf771 in the Meaningful Use sub-forum, but it is very relevant here.

If you write a prescription, then reconcile the current medication list after the prescription is written, it will show up on the "Current Medications" list, as if they were on the med when they came to see you, instead of the reality of it being started by you during that visit. You cannot go back and correct a current medication list entry after you have written a prescription without fouling up the pre-visit medication list with the new prescription. If there is a way around this, I would love to know it, anyone have any input?
