We have a handout that currently uses MEDS Prior to list the meds the patient is currently on. The provider called and asked if it could include the last refill date. I found the {MEDS_PRIOR("delimited")} but I don't want all the information that is there and I want it in a list. Can someone give me some pointers? I just want the following:

Medication description

Generic medication description

Instructions

Last Refill date

Unfortunately, unable to access Last Refill Date from the MEL symbols Meds_xxx("delimited").

The available fields are medication description, generic medication description DDID, GPI code, NDC code, legend, instructions, comments, onset date, stop date, and stop reason.

here is a screen print and the refill date is in the delimited text

Linda, you are seeing a start date. Take a look at this test I did. It is showing start date and not the Rx I did today.

Last refill date is provided (according to help) in MEDS_AFTER. This function will return the Med, Generic, Instructions, and Last Date Refilled for each med on a single line with dashes between each field

{fn fnMedContractFormatList(strList) { local lCounter local MedArray local lBuffer local strFormattedList = "" MedArray = getfield(strList, "|", "") for lCounter = 1, lCounter <= size(MedArray), lCounter = lCounter + 1 do MedArray[lCounter] = getfield(MedArray[lCounter], "^", "") /* Need to remove commas from medication name */ lBuffer = INITIALCAP(MedArray[lCounter][1]) + " - " + INITIALCAP(MedArray[lCounter][2]) + " - " + MedArray[lCounter][7] + " - " + MedArray[lCounter][16] + HRET lBuffer = ReplaceStr(lBuffer, ",", ";") strFormattedList = strFormattedList + lBuffer endfor if (lCounter > 1) then strFormattedList = remove(strFormattedList, size(strFormattedList)) endif return (strFormattedList) }}
