I was wondering if someone would be willing to share a workflow for Quick Text to add medications. For example if provider would like to add Z-pac and Zinc, and include quantity and refills is there a way to add these as a new prescription with a quick text? Thank you in advance for your help.

You would have to do a separate quick text for each drug/quantity/refill combo. There isn't a way to make a quick text interactive so they could add a quantity and refill. The easier thing would be to give them a quick text that inserts a simple custom form with your most used medications on them where they could choose the med, quantity, refill, etc. and press a button to add it. Look at the help for MEL_ADD_MEDICATION, which is what a quick text would use. There are quite a few required fields.

As David said this is only a good shortcut for very frequent meds added to the med list with the same dose.

A couple quick examples we use:

.adcal

Recommend Calcium Supplementation: 1800mg daily. START CALTRATE 600mg three times daily{MEL_ADD_MEDICATION("CALTRATE 600 TABS", "1 tab po tid", str(._TODAYSDATE), -3825, "", "", "")}
.advitd

Start oral vitamin D3 supplementation 2000 IU daily{MEL_ADD_MEDICATION("VITAMIN D 2000 UNIT TABS", "1 tab po q am", str(._TODAYSDATE), 138588, "", "", "")}

Hope it helps

Thank you so much for this information, I will share with the providers and we will give it a try. Providers have noticed repetitive entry of the same meds for patients with same diagnosis and symptoms so I think this will help. Thanks again and have a great day.
