Add Drug Favorites

Creating the Drug Favorites List gives providers an efficient selection of drugs, durable medical equipment (DME), or supplies prescribed often when adding medications to a patient's chart or initiating a prescription. Providers can also add a drug to favorites on the fly when prescribing a medication through a patient's chart.
