Patient's weight automatically converted to Kilograms and visible in the Prescription Pad
In Vitals, we'd like to continue to enter the patients weight in pounds and ounces but have MicroMD automatically convert this into Kilograms, similar to how it currently computes BMI. We'd like this visible in Vitals screen as well as in the Prescription Pad as most strengths and dosages of medications are determined based on weight in Kilograms.
Requested Steps and Expected Result: see above
Actual Result: weight can be entered in Vitals in metric OR imperial format (set in EMR Manager)
Impact on Workflow: Provider has to manually compute weight in pounds/ounces to Kilograms while choosing strength/dosage of medications.

The setting in the EMR Manager only controls the display in the Rx Pad to show imperial or metric weight. It was tested in versions 7.6 and above to confirm it is working this way, this would resolve this suggestion with current functionality.
