Supporting Workflows and Tools

Medications can be reconciled during a patient visit or when electronically incorporating a care summary into a patient chart as part of a transition of care.

In an encounter, medications can be reviewed and reconciled from the Allergies/Meds Hx tab or the Medications tab.

A clinical reconciliation for summaries of care received electronically can be performed from the C‑CDA Reconciliation Tool or from the PPDX Inbox.
