Medications are now available in flowsheets
You can add a medication to a flowsheet in order to see medication data over time alongside a patient's relevant lab results, injections, social history, and other patient data elements.
Each medication record displayed in the flowsheet can show dose, frequency, duration, and start date. You can select an item to see additional details, including multiple dosages. CHR-6934
