Using the Master Medication List in QuicDoc

In addition to existing functionality in 11.04, which included Notifications (renewals, refill requests and pending prescriptions) in the Reminders window, and a link from the Patient view to the e-Prescribing interface, QuicDoc 11.5 now has has a Master Medication List which syncs with DrFirst.

 Using the Master Medication List

Before using the Master Medication list, you must set permissions for users who can have access. To assign access to the Master Medications List:

1. Logon as the SA
2. Go to the Users View
3. Select a User
4. Click Set user access levels from the task pane on the left
5. Go to Documentation on the list
6. Check Access to Master Medication List
7. Click Ok to Save

Users who have access will now see an additional item when selecting a patient and then selecting the Patients menu. To access the Master Medication List, select a patient and then select Master Medication/Allergy List from the Patient menu.

The Master Medication List will show medications prescribed and medications you have added to the Medication list from other prescribers (blue background).  Enter Allergies in DrFirst to have them sync back to the Master Med List. Click the Allergies tab to see allergies.

When you select a medication row, if the medication formula or sig has changed, you will see the latest on top and one or more rows in the details grid below. If you select a medication and click the Medication Information button to the right of the Medication List label, it will take you to information on the medication from MedLine Plus.

To sync back medications to the Master Medication List, select a patient and go to e-Prescribe (link on the task pane on the left), Return to the client view. Open the Master Medication List and it will sync medication and allergies to the list.

To work with the Master Medication List for new patients, select a patient and go to the e-Prescribe link.
