Requesting Medication List Changes or Renewals

1.   If you haven't already, go to the Review Med List module.

2.   Do one or more of the following:

• Request a renewal

  • If no changes to the medication are needed, click Taking as Prescribed. At the Renewal Needed field, click Yes.

  • If changes are needed, first discontinue the medication by clicking Not Taking. Then, add the updated medication as a new medication. Do so by typing into the field in the upper left corner, and click Add New. The LMR includes your entry in the Review Med List. Type comments associated with this medication into the text field (such as dose, frequency, and so on), and indicate that the patient needs a renewal.

• Add a medication

  Type the full medication name into the field in the upper left corner, and click Add New. The LMR includes your entry in the Review Med List. If appropriate, type comments associated with this medication into the text field (such as dose, frequency, and so on).

• Verify a medication

  Click Taking as Prescribed. If the patient needs a renewal, click Yes at the Renewal Needed field.

• Edit a medication

  Click Taking Differently. Type into the text box to describe the differences (such as different frequency or dose).

• Discontinue a medication

  Click Not Taking. Type into the text box to describe the reason the patient has stopped the medication, if discussed.

3.  Click OK. The LMR prompts you to identify the provider to whom you want to send your medication changes.

4.   Select the provider from the drop-down list, and click OK (ALT+O).

5.   If you want to save and sign your work now, click OK & Sign. The LMR indicates the changes that will be saved. Type your key and click Sign.
