External Rx History
The External Rx History function in PowerChart is designed to let providers see what medications a patient has filled at retail pharmacies. This can help with the patient’s home medication list by providing a way to verify the dosages or frequencies of a prescription if the patient cannot remember. It can also help identify if a patient is attempting to get another narcotic prescription or fill one too early by showing the prescription and the fill dates.
There are a couple of caveats to this system. If a patient pays cash or chooses not to run the claim through insurance, the fill information may not be transmitted from the external pharmacy back through SureScripts into Cerner. Also, if the pharmacy does not adjudicate claim information or does not participate with SureScripts, there may be no data.

Name Format in PowerChart
To help in further standardizing how things look and act in PowerChart, name formatting will be updated soon.
The new personal display will appear as follows:
First [Middle] Last [Suffix], [Credentials]
(Anything in the brackets will only show if applicable, i.e. not everyone has credentials)
This will affect the display when searching for providers as listed below. You will be allowed to search by last name or first name. If you search by first name only the system will interpret this as last name so please enter at least a portion of first name and a portion of the last name. This will make the system look for first name and last name.
Last name, first name
First name, last name

MAR Summary from Previous Encounters
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.

Changes in Default Font Settings
Increasing default font size in Powernote:
The default font settings in Powernote has been increased from 8.3 to 12 to allow for easier viewing of the in-progress Powernote. This will not affect the look of completed notes that are being viewed from within Clinical Notes. The change will only impace those users that have not previously customized their font size.
Users that would like to customize these font size can reach their preferences by opening a new Powernote > click on View at the top of the chart (the customize window will open > select the Font tab in the Customize window > change the Size to desired setting under each Category. The changes are shown on the open Powernote so it is easy to see what effect your changes have made. **DO NOT CHANGE THE PADDING FONT SIZE.**
