Peggy:

I understand you to say that medications you prescribed earlier on the date of service are somehow appearing under "Current Medications" in the clinic note for that date of service.

I very often forward notes to myself for completion, and I have never had it do what you are describing.

On the other hand, double-clicking on the "Current Medications" field when you are typing your note will cause what you are describing to happen. The Prescription Writer will open. When you close it, all the meds in the "Patient Med List" will be transported to the "Current Medications" field of your clinic note. Could that have happened accidentally somehow?
