The eHR Viewer will initially display 4 months of information but you have the option to view up to 25
months. The information displayed in the summary is reflective of the time frame selected.

The Rx Summary page has three tabs of information available: Active Prescriptions, Recently Active
Prescriptions and Prescription History.

Active Prescriptions will display any prescription the PIP system believes the patient is still actively
taking. This includes prescriptions that are continuous, short term or external. Medication can have a
status of; Filled, Pending, Revoked, Refused or Hold. Once a medication is no longer active it will move
to the Recently Active Prescription tab.

Recently Active Prescriptions tab will display any medication it is believed the patient completed taking
within the last 30 days. The medication will stay on this tab for 30 days and then move to the
Prescription History Tab.
Prescription History tab will display all historical medications.

Searching in the Medication Profile

The search field allows you to filter the information you see on the screen. The system will use the
information you enter in this field and display only the rows that have matching information.

GOOD TO KNOW
If you want to see how many prescriptions for Lorazepam an individual has it is hard to look at an
alphabetical view of the screen because it can be listed under
 APO-LORAZEPAM
 DOM-LORAZEPAM
 NON-LORAZEPAM

By searching for “Lorazepam” you will be provided with

 All Loraepam prescriptions
 Any prescriptions that have a recorded contraindication with that drug
 Any prescriptions that mention LORAZEPAM in the note
The system will search all the columns of information as well as the attached notes and
contraindications.

In addition, you can sort by the date by clicking on the headings in each column.
