Working with Medication Favorites

Medication Favorites allow you a shortcut to enter medications that you commonly prescribe for your patients, including full route and form designations. Use of Medication Favorites is a two-step process:

• Enter the medication

  Enter the medication for any patient. Complete all fields for the Add Medication form. See Adding Medications for details. Be sure to select the check box to add the entry as a favorite for either your list or your practice (these options display at bottom of the Add form).

  Note: After clicking My List or Practice, the LMR prompts you to accept or update the name to be used for this favorite. This affects how the medication favorite is to appear in your list of favorites. Click OK to continue.

• Select the medication

  When you want to select this medication again for any subsequent patient, click Favorites either at the medication lookup screen or directly from the Medications module. The LMR displays a list of favorites that you have saved to your personal list or that you and your colleagues have saved to your practice list. Click the medication or medications you want and click Add to return to the Medications list screen, with new medications awaiting your signature.

To delete any medication from your favorites list, click Favorites from the medication lookup screen. Then click the check box to the left of the medication name and Delete.
