Adding Supplements to a Patient's Medication List
Supplements can be documented in a patient’s medication list in the same manner as prescription or over-the-counter medications. Accurate documentation ensures a complete view of the patient's treatment regimen and supports safe, coordinated care.
Steps to Add a Supplement:
- Access the Patient’s Chart
Navigate to the desired patient's chart within the system. - Open the Medication List
From the menu on the left-hand side of the screen, select Medication List to view the patient's current medications. - Initiate a New Entry
Click the + Add Medication button to begin adding a new item. - Search for the Supplement
In the search field, enter the name of the supplement you wish to add. Select the appropriate entry from the results. - Enter Supplement Details
Complete any additional fields as necessary—such as dosage, frequency, route of administration, and start date—to ensure comprehensive documentation. - Save the Entry
Once all relevant information has been entered, click Save to add the supplement to the list. If you need to add multiple items, you may use the Save and Add Another option.
You can add supplements to a patient's medication list just as you would any other medication.
Navigate to the patient's chart. Select Medication List from the menu on the left. Next, click +Add Medication.
Search for and select the supplement. Enter any additional information and hit the Save or Save and Add Another button.
