Manually entering medications help maintain an accurate, up-to-date list of prescription and non-prescription medications on the person’s record.

* Access to Care Management or Utilization Management * Permission to view Health Summary * Permission to manual medication function

When the medications the person has indicated they are taking are not yet included in claims data or when there is a discrepancy.

* There is no systematic medication reconciliation process for medications that have been manually entered. Claims data received at a future point may contain a medication that was added manually. * If a manually entered medication is a duplicate of one in the Claims section, delete it to avoid duplicating data in the person’s record. * If a medication is added to the list in error, you can delete it from the list. * Use custom medication names to capture Route information. * Status should be discontinued if the to date is in the past. * There is no audit history on medication additions and edits.
