Modifying a patient's medications or allergies or prescribing a medication will create a record of the action as a Medication Encounter type, which can be viewed in the Past Encounters tab of the chart.

If a prescription is created in Rcopia but is not completed (i.e., neither sent, signed, nor printed), the prescription is considered pending. Pending prescriptions created in the chart do not display in the Medications section but are visible in the Rx Pending queue, accessible from within Rcopia and from the Prescription Status links.
