Document medication compliance - Home Medications

The Home Medications (Medication History) in Order Entry Console can contain both prescriptions and reported medications. Once you enter a prescription or a reported medication, you can document additional clinical information regarding medication compliance.

When documenting medication compliance, the Scratchpad is skipped in Order Entry Console as the entry is not a prescription order.

Prerequisites:

• The logged in user has an OrderConnect account and has completed Single-Sign-On configuration using the OrderConnect User/Password Update form.
• The logged in user has an Order Entry user role defined in the Order Entry User Definition form with no restrictions to enter or update orders on the Home Medications tab in Order Entry Console.
