Definition

A medication statement in MANSOQ records a medicine that a patient reports taking, or has taken on an ongoing basis. Unlike a medication request, a medication statement is not an order. It records what the patient says they take, not what staff prescribe. MANSOQ records every medication statement against an encounter of the patient.

Where MANSOQ shows medication statements

MANSOQ shows the medication statements of a patient in two places. The Medication Statements sub-tab of the Medicines tab shows them during an encounter. The Past Medications section of the patient's Clinical History tab shows them by date.

Both places list every medication statement of the patient. They do not list only the statements of one encounter.

Status

Status Description
Active The patient currently takes the medicine.
On Hold The patient has paused the medicine.
Completed The patient finished the course.
Stopped The patient stopped the medicine before finishing.
Intended The patient plans to take the medicine.
Not Taken The patient did not take the medicine.
Unknown The state is not known.
Entered in Error Staff recorded the statement by mistake.

MANSOQ offers the Entered in Error status only for a statement that you saved. MANSOQ keeps a statement with this status, but hides it from the Medication Statements sub-tab and from Past Medications.
