Track patient prescriptions

If you want to quickly view a complete drug prescription history for each patient, you can track prescription orders in the clinical sidebar or the clinical dashboard. The clinical sidebar shows you the patient's history of published prescriptions and their current prescription while the dashboard allows you to view all prescriptions in a list.

  2. In the Users list, click the group name or user name to set the sidebar for.

  3. Under the Sidebar section, click Edit.

  4. In the pop-up, configure the following:

    • Set the Status to Enabled.

    • Turn on the toggle switch for Prescriptions.
