Automaticly add medications prescribed to LTM list
When prescribing a medication have the medication automatically add to the LTM medication list to save providers and nurses time in adding it while doing the prescribing. As it is being prescribed the patient is obviously taking the medication and it should be added to the LTM list.

After review with CAB, prescriptions should not be added to the LTM list automatically. Majority of prescription are not a Long Term Medication and if a practice does have a high volume these should be reviewed and identified properly not automatically.

I agree with Nathan - it takes 3 clicks to get med added to LTM, I don't think that is problematic. If the system were really intelligent it might prompt staff to add the Rx to LTM if the first Rx is still active at the encounter following the original Rx.

The prescription should not be added to the LTM list if it is not a Long Term Medication. Providers are not going to want antibiotics that are prescribed for an acute medical problem to stay as an LTM...
