Hi Lane,
Finally, I have someone I can have a convo on these two topics. I think? On the CC, great idea putting in the date. Your MA could do it, except mine has no calendar in her brain, lol. I also go back and put OTITIS MEDIA L, so it shows up perfectly in past medical history.
As to the inactivation, I think you could have two options. The first would be to use the inactivate button:

I think I use a reason less than I don't. Reasons would be for changing Abilify to Seroquel. Stopping Paxil. Zantac to Prevacid, etc. No reasons would be deleting hydrocortisone 1% or amoxicillin. etc. In psyche it would be huge to put in reason.

To be honest, I have always thought it would be incredible to be able to use that information to temporarily bring up a window showing:
Medication on: | Start date No longer on: | Stop date: reason
You could quickly glance and see what meds they have been on even inactiving or deleting meds not needed from that window such as antibiotics or whatever.
I know we can go back and forth, but it is just not the same. I have to decide if I want to use Lamictal or Seroquel, when they have already been on Lamictal and I stopped it due to SJS and Seroquel caused a severe metabolic syndrome or weight gain. It is embarrassing to state, "Let's start Abilify," and they have either been on it or had a severe choreathetosis in the past.
