I was working with a few MA's yesterday and they mentioned how time consuming it was to enter each medication for new patients who have an extensive list of medications.

Has anyone developed a way for an MA to enter them in a bulk format rather than one at a time?

thanks!!

If you build VFE forms you can make their lives a lot easier, but it depends a little bit on how much detail the MA's fill out when adding a medication. MED_REFERENCE() and MEL_ADD_MEDICATION() are what you should look at. MED_REFERENCE() is not well documented (it is in the help file) but it will pop up the med reference list and once a med is selected it will return a '^' delimited string with information like the med name and NDC, DDID, GPI codes and more so you can add it as a coded med appropriately. If you want to go that route let me know and I can answer any questions you have.

Its not adding in bulk but it greatly reduces the number of clicks to add a med.

Hi Michael,

VFE is what I was hoping for, but I have never seen the MED_REFERENCE(). If you have any pointers I would love them as I may head that direction.

thanks!!

Use the Medication History as a preload.

(or go crazy and reconcile from a MU CCD-A)
