What if say a right click on a medication for the inactivation process allows direct inactivation of that specific medication, but also the option to open up a window with the medication list on the left hand side and the right hand side of the window is a easy-to-read grid of inactivation reason choices. The first column is inactivate without comment or unspecified reason, so if that is your style, it is easy to just click straight down that column as needed. But, for added documentation with ease, the next columns are common causes such as no longer needed, unavailable, changed to another medication, side effect, dependency concern, cost, non-formulary... you get the idea. The last column button could open an optional text window to make a comment (which will work by itself or with any of the other columns). One click for each medication inactivation, and can inactivate multiple at a time before hitting save... Hitting a button on the grid should cause its corresponding medication to be clearly highlighted for visual clarity is also suggested.

This is a good topic, glad it was started.
