The Medications list

The first line shows the client's ALLERGIES (or "none on file"). Then every medication of the client, newest first: date, name, dose, units, route, frequency, (Active) or (Stopped date), and the prescriber (or "Outside prescriber"). A medication with a prescription ends with [Rx Signed / Printed / Faxed / VOIDED].

Recording a medication

  5. Click Save. If the client already takes it (active), PsyTrace asks before filing it again.
