This seems like a no-brainer since many other EHR's have the ability and now you are getting the information... Why can we not do anything with the Drug History? We waited a long tome to be able to poll the national database for this info and now all we get to do with it is look at it. Other EHR's have the ability to allow the Doctors to pick which meds to import into the current patients chart and do it. And for this list to populate and not even have the ability to print it seems like someone skipped a step.

To get to the list in question, open a chart, goto "Write Scripts" and click on "Drug History" and choose a time period and click. This brings up most of a pt's drug history past and present. We deal with a lot of elderly and the ability to import some(not all) of these medications would be greatly helpful.

I was told in chat yesterday that you have no way of getting this information from the doctors... It comes from the database where you populate the drug histories from. This seems like usable data and would save a lot of practices a lot of time. Hand typing in all the meds all the time has cost us pt's.
