# Managing Patient Medications

Where to find the medication list, what you can edit, and the status values (Current, Titration, Tapering).
        Published May 21, 2025  ·  Updated August 29, 2026
After a session, Nextvisit can propose medication and diagnosis changes. The **Review proposed chart changes** dialog lets you **Accept**, **Reject**, or **Modify** then **Apply changes**.

**Auto-apply Chart Changes** in AI Features applies those proposals without the review step.

If you Accept a change whose chart row was removed, the product shows: `This chart entry is no longer on the patient chart.` That proposal stays in the list.

## What you can do

After completing at least one session with a patient, you can:

 - Add new medications
 - Edit existing medications (dosage, frequency, status)
 - Delete medications that are no longer relevant
 - Print the complete medication list for patient records or referrals
 - Switch an agent with **Switch** / **Switch agent**

## Where to find patient medications

 1. **During an encounter or progress note:** Look for the “Medications” section in the right sidebar when medications were discussed in the session.
 1. **In the patient chart:** Navigate to the patient’s chart and click the “Medications” tab for a full view.

## Switch agent

On the Medications tab, **Switch** opens **Switch agent**. A row control labeled **Switch agent** opens the same dialog with that medication selected.

 1. Choose **Switch from** and **Switch to**
 1. Click **Propose schedule**
 1. **Accept**, **Modify** (**Save modified plan**), or **Reject** (**Reject plan**, with a reason)

After **Accept** or **Modify**, the product shows: `Switch accepted; outcomes are due on day 30 and day 90.` (or `Modified plan saved; outcomes are due on day 30 and day 90.`)

When those dates arrive, **Switch outcomes due** offers **Record**. The dialog title is **Day 30 outcome** or **Day 90 outcome**.

## Editing medication details

Click any medication to open a detailed view that includes:

 - **Medication name** and generic equivalent
 - **Dosage** (e.g., 10mg)
 - **Formation** (tablet, capsule, liquid, etc.)
 - **Frequency** (once daily, twice daily, as needed)
 - **Start date** and **stop date** (if applicable)
 - **Status** options including Current, Discontinued, Titration, Tapering, or Unknown
 - **Prescriber information**
 - **Comments section** for additional notes like “Take for sleep before bedtime”
 - **Drug interactions** and warnings when applicable

## Medication status options

 - **Current**: Patient is actively taking the medication
 - **Discontinued**: Medication has been stopped
 - **Titration**: Dosage is being gradually increased
 - **Tapering**: Dosage is being gradually decreased
 - **Unknown**: Status needs clarification

## AI confidence indicators

Nextvisit AI shows confidence levels for automatically captured medications. Look for confidence percentages and controlled substance indicators where applicable.

## Notes

 - At least one completed session is required before you can manage a patient’s medications
 - Review and confirm medication details before finalizing documentation
 - Use “Mark Incorrect & Remove” if the AI captured incorrect information
