Chapter Overview
What You'll Learn:
- How to open the patient Medication Profile
- How to add, import, reconcile, sign, and print medications

Path: Patients → open patient → Medication Profile
Text-only. There is no e-prescribe button in Betasky.
17.1 What You See
Modal title: Medication Profile | {Patient Name}
Common actions:
| Button | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Add Medication | Add a med row |
| Import from text | Paste/import med list text |
| Medication Reconciliation | Reconcile against another source/list |

Also related on the patient: Pharmacy setup (pharmacy directory assignment — not e-prescribe).
17.2 Typical Workflow
- Open the patient → Medication Profile.
- Add Medication or Import from text.
- Review Drug Interactions and any advisory alerts.
- Complete Medication Reconciliation (button inside this Medication Profile modal) when required by your process.
- Sign Medication Profile and Print if needed for the chart or physician.
In product talk, Medication Reconciliation means that button on the Medication Profile modal — the med-list reconcile tool. It is not a visit type and is not “the OASIS medications section.”
17.3 Alerts
- Polypharmacy: when many active meds (advisory threshold 5+), the UI warns to consider review and interaction checking.
- Possible duplicate active entries: listed when similar active meds overlap.
17.4 What This Module Does Not Do
- No E-Prescribe / eRx send to pharmacies from Medication Profile
- Faxing documents uses patient Communications, not a med-list e-fax button here
17.5 Quick Checklist
- Active list current
- Interactions reviewed
- Profile signed when policy requires
- Pharmacies assigned via Pharmacy setup if needed
