Another good reason to always copy a medication history to a new one, before making significant changes to it, such as frequency, due times, dosage amount, etc, is that if you add or change the time slots that a med is due, just by overwriting the existing med history form and hitting update, the due/overdue report under MAR section will not accurately reflect those changes. You have to actually go into the med history form, hit the ‘copy’ option, make changes to the copy, and then discontinue the previous, old version. Then, once you reconfigure/approve the MAR the due/overdue report will update to reflect the new due times.
