View Medication History

The medication history of each patient is sourced directly from the clinical system used by the prescriber or the dispenser.

Depending on the available information, the patient record can be the medication history, or their patient profile (with no medication history) or both (in which case, the medication history is shown first).

All information in the medication history record is read-only.
