# Manage Medication Orders from the Work Centre

The Work Centre view in Profile provides a holistic view of all medication across the patient population. It can be used to monitor expiring medications and administer medication to a group of patients.

## Monitoring Expired Medication Orders or Orders Due to Expire

Medication orders are legally valid for 1 year, however your system administrator may have set a shorter time limit, after which time they will expire automatically and will need to be re-ordered by the appropriate provider.  To monitor medication orders which have expired or are due to expire for your patient population carry out the following steps:

1. Open the **Work Centre **and select **Med Chart Review **from the segment list.
2. Select the relevant filter from the drop-down list. It is important to note that filters will be created by your system administrator based on the requirements of your organisation.

4. Columns displayed are also dictated by the creation of the filter. Some common columns are as follows:
5. Single click on the name of the patient to view further details in the bottom half of the screen. The left side will display the order details. The right side will display links to all encounters in the patient’s medical record related to any of their orders.

**Note: **At this point you can decide to either discontinue, repeat or change the expiring medication. Each of these actions are outlined in the steps below.

:::

## Discontinuing Medication

Users who are legally entitled to order medications (Doctors, Medical Officers, Nurse Practitioners) have the ability to use this functionality in Profile.  Users who do not have the ability to order medications (some nurses and administrative staff) only have access to “view” details and cannot ‘edit’ medication details.

An encounter is automatically be created within the EMR for the patient when the medication order is discontinued.

1. If the medication is no longer required by the patient, you can click on the **Discontinue** icon in the toolbar.

::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/1BU7MxK0SJiD6XGKiMYtn_a6puobs4c97gjgdfcsfvh-sisx-ygtca.png" size="28" isUploading="false" initialPath="assets/A6pUoBS4C97GJGdFcSfVH-SIs_x-ygt_CA.png" githubPath="en/Medication Management/Inpatient Medications/MedChart/assets/A6pUoBS4C97GJGdFcSfVH-SIs_x-ygt_CA.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false" indent="2"}

2. The following window is displayed, click **Yes **to continue.

3. The Order discontinue window is displayed with the date and time defaulted to current. These are mandatory fields, and can changed to reflect the date and time you wish to end the medication order (i.e. future).

::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/RpV2um6-a0B_kEEqd-Yj5_wuut1d7uagufhkuk25ty9k5vmxge9nnxeq.png" size="80" isUploading="false" initialPath="assets/wuUT1d7UagUfHkuk25TY9K5VMXGe9nnxEQ.png" githubPath="en/Medication Management/Inpatient Medications/MedChart/assets/wuUT1d7UagUfHkuk25TY9K5VMXGe9nnxEQ.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false" indent="2"}

4. Select the **Reason** for discontinuing the medication from the dropdown box and enter a **Comment** if applicable. The encounter which is automatically created when the medication is discontinued will contain this comment.

::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/N-8kvZ7GH810rdGqM1Rdk_1znhb-czwcrsavb8bjgsphpexqznlm02w.png" size="80" isUploading="false" initialPath="assets/1znHb-cZ_WCrSAvB8BjGsPHPeXqznlM02w.png" githubPath="en/Medication Management/Inpatient Medications/MedChart/assets/1znHb-cZ_WCrSAvB8BjGsPHPeXqznlM02w.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false" indent="2"}

5. The medication will now show in the Work Centre Med Chart view as discontinued.

## Issuing a Repeat

Users who are legally entitled to order medications (Doctors, Medical Officers, Nurse Practitioners) will have the ability to use this functionality in Profile.  All other users (nurses and administrative staff) will only have access to “view” details and cannot ‘edit’ medication details.

An encounter will automatically be created within the EMR for the patient when the medication order is repeated

1. If you would like to issue a repeat of the expiring medication (rather than discontinue it) you can click on the **Repeat** icon in the toolbar.

::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/wySs68qN-202HciKjFzIm_t5xnprvjx3jgs31tw7cgnjnuz6mdnwlbag.png" size="28" isUploading="false" initialPath="assets/t5XNprVJx3Jgs31TW7cgNJnuz6MDNWlbAg.png" githubPath="en/Medication Management/Inpatient Medications/MedChart/assets/t5XNprVJx3Jgs31TW7cgNJnuz6MDNWlbAg.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false" indent="2"}

2. The following window appears, click **Yes** to continue.

3. Profile will discontinue the current order and automatically duplicate it to issue the repeat. The Order discontinue window is displayed with the current date and time defaulted. These are mandatory fields. Note because Profile considers this to be a change, the **Medication Discontinue** window will open.

::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/-OwMkPVcfrVrqBnvKl_Gh_aoysgmfzisea150flnmgzpgd2md8hjqqa.png" size="59" isUploading="false" initialPath="assets/AOySGMFZ_iSEA150fLnmgZPGD2MD8hjQQA.png" githubPath="en/Medication Management/Inpatient Medications/MedChart/assets/AOySGMFZ_iSEA150fLnmgZPGD2MD8hjQQA.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false" indent="2"}

4. Select the **Reason** for discontinuing the medication as **Reorder** from the dropdown box and enter a comment if applicable. The encounter which is automatically created when the medication is discontinued will contain this comment.
5. The discontinued order is displayed with a strike out.  Directly underneath the new repeated order appears in italics.

## Changing the Current Order Instructions

Users who are legally entitled to order medications (Doctors, Medical Officers, Nurse Practitioners) will have the ability to use this functionality in Profile.  All other users (nurses and administrative staff) will only have access to “view” details and cannot ‘edit’ medication details.
