Repeat Medication

Repeat medication, which was prescribed by the last practice and was active at the time of transfer, is listed in several places:

  • Journal
  • As a Problem with the header of Active Medication
  • As a Problem with the header of Previously Active Medication (see below)
  • On the Therapy - Repeats tab. Prior to DLM 290, active and inactive repeats (see explanation below) appeared in the inactive filter of the Therapy screen with the bow tie icon, depicting that they were third party entries. From DLM 290, you can differentiate between active and inactive drugs by the icons for active imported medication and for inactive imported medication.

Active imported medication

Repeats with number of issues less than maximum permitted issues, with the Repeat Until Date blank or in the future.

Inactive imported medication

Repeats with the number of issues more than or equal to the maximum permitted issues, regardless of the Repeat Until Date.

Repeats with the Repeat Until Date in the past regardless of number of issues.

Note - You can list inactive medication by unclicking the inactive medication filter when at the Repeats tab of Therapy.
