The medication list keeps track of all your patient's medications and also serves as a rapid way to auto-populate fields while sending an eRx. Medications are stored in your patient's medication list. When you prescribe new drugs, DrChrono will automatically search for any potential interactions between your new prescription and drugs on the medication list.
To manage your medication list, begin by first going to a patient's chart and selecting Medication List on the left-hand navigation bar.
