No, you are correct. Everytime you click on something, AC will run a query on the SQL database to get information. When you first open AC, it loads some data so you see "preloading data for speed."
When you click on meds, it could choose to query just the active meds until you click on inactive meds. It doesn't query demographics which is why the first time you click ln that tab, it takes three to four seconds to open. Next time, the data is already there, and it is instantaneous or close.
A lot of programs will not populate a field such as patient list until you type two letters. It figures why bring move every name into a list when you know that you want Sm for Smith. The developers try to predict what info you will want if you ask for certain info. If you click on demographics, both billing and general are brought over as you may need both. But who needs their imported items when they click on a chart?
Same with medications. Someone made a calculated decision to bring over every med even if the patient has 90 inactive meds. Which I think is a poor decision.
