Kareo Clinical makes it easy to renew both active and discontinued medications from a patient's chart. When renewing a medication, note the following:

  • Medications that were added to a patient's chart for informational purposes may require a new prescription if required information (such as instructions or quantity) was not included.
  • When renewing in response to an "Rx Renewal Received" message, the prescription information may be changed.
  • A renewed prescription may trigger a  drug-drug interactions or a drug-allergy interaction alert.

Access Patient Medications

  1. Enter the first 2–3 letters of the patient's name or date of birth (mm/dd/yyyy) in the top navigation bar search box.
  2. Click to select the patient from the auto-populated results. The patient's record opens to the Face Sheet.
  3. Click Medications. The Active Medications page opens.
