Our providers have asked if there is a way for better spacing for the medication list on handouts. Our patients are elderly, and it would be easier for them to read if there was a space between each line. I'm currently using this to pull into the handout:
{(MEDS_AFTER("List"))}

use replacestr to replace ',' with ',' + hret

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm still not getting how I can set this up.

{ReplaceStr(MEDS_AFTER("list"), hret, hret + hret)}
will replace the single hard return with 2, thus double spacing.

If you're using meds_after("list") this will work. If not, the same idea may be applied.
{cfmt(replacestr(meds_after("list"), hret,hret+hret), "", "Medication
", "B,U","
")}
This is the response I received when I asked the same question. I just copied and pasted this into the letter.
