Ability to View Medications Given in Previous Encounters
We have introduced a new feature in Powerchart to make it easier to view medications given on a previous visit. This will be useful in the event that a patient had medications given in the EC, SWCC, etc. and then admitted as an inpatient a few days later.
To view this history:
Navigate to the MAR Summary from the Menu tab:
Right Click on the gray bar and choose “Change Properties”, adjust the date range to go back to the previous visit you wish to view. You will now be able to view the date/time of any meds that were given.
To search for previous visits:
Click on the Patient Location on the banner bar to view a list of previous visits.
In the example below, the patient was admitted to observation on 1/14/2016, by clicking on the location button, a list of previous visits appear. This patient was also admitted to the Emergency Center on 1/6/2016. To view what was given on the EC visit, the date range on the MAR Summary was changed to 1/6/2016 and now you can view what meds were given in the Emergency Center on that visit.
