Prescription Display

The column order in the prescription list can be changed by clicking on the title of the column and dragging to required position. Column width can be adjusted by positioning the cursor on the divider between column titles until a double arrow appears then clicking and dragging the column to the desired width.

A single click on a drug will display the MIMS Quarterly information in the display area, provided you have the large patient window (see Clinical).

A double click on a drug will open the MIMS annual entry in a web browser window which includes drug images.

To delete a prescription, click on it to highlight it, and then click on the Delete button (Garbage Can icon).

You can delete multiple prescriptions at once by shift-clicking or Command-clicking and highlighting the required prescriptions. When deleting a medication, you are asked for a reason but only if the medication is not "once-only" (i.e. assigned a category of 'S'), and it has previously been printed, otherwise it will be deleted immediately. You can also choose to create a class allergy to this medication when deleting the prescription. This reason can be accessed through the Info icon and the MIMS Quarterly display. If you re-prescribe a previously deleted medication, the old prescribing history, as well as the reason for stopping the medication will be displayed again.

To modify the reason, dose, frequency, instructions or repeats slow double-click in the area you want to modify.

These changes are shown in the display area along with the MIMS Quarterly when a medication is clicked as well as in the Info icon, which can also be found in the Script Archive in the Other tab. However, these changes are not retrospective. Changes are only tracked for drugs linked to MIMS, and which are not marked as "once-only" (i.e. category S).  Prescribing changes can be modified by clicking on the Info button, or right clicking on the medication

Right clicking on the Category, Medication and Reason columns will display contextual popups depending on which column you right-click.
