The Medications and Supplements section is where you list what the patient is taking at home. This is separate from medications you give them on the call — see Adding medications for those.

If the patient takes nothing, click None in the section header to record None Reported in one tap.

The Medications and Supplements section on the Patient tab for listing the patient's current home medications.

How to add a home medication

  1. Click Add Medication. A medication picker opens.
  2. Type the first few letters of the medication name. CloudPCR searches a national drug database and shows you matches.
  3. Pick the medication from the list. It is added as a card.
  4. Click the card to expand it and fill in Dose, Dosage Unit, Administration Route, and Frequency, if you know them.

Click the X on any card to remove that medication.

Tips

  • If the patient brought their pill bottles or a list, use them. Patients often forget medications they take every day.
  • For polypharmacy patients (15+ medications), focus on the ones that matter for the chief complaint. You do not have to list every supplement.
  • If a medication is in the list but with a different brand name than the patient's bottle, use the generic name. Both names point to the same drug.

An example

You transport a 65-year-old with chest pain. He hands you a printout from his cardiologist with his current medications. You start typing each one: aspirin, metoprolol, atorvastatin, lisinopril, metformin. CloudPCR finds each one in the national database and the list is built in under a minute. The receiving cardiologist sees the full list when she gets the report.
