The issue with the current UI for prescription order in OpenEMR is that it can lead to medication errors due to the lack of clarity in the search results. When a user enters a medication name in the "Search Web API" field, the system displays only one option, which can lead the user to believe that this is the only option available.
This lack of clarity can be problematic, as there may be multiple medications with similar names or multiple formulations of the same medication.

Steps to Replicate the Issue:

  • Login to OpenEMR.

  • Access the "Finder" feature and choose a patient to focus on.
  • The patient's Medical Record Dashboard will open, providing an overview of their medical information.

  • Navigate to the bottom right corner of the dashboard and click on the "Prescriptions” tab.

  • A new page will appear, offering a wide range of options to facilitate medication ordering.
  • When entering a medication name in the "Search Web API" field, the system only displays one option initially.

  • Upon clicking on that option, it expands to show other available dosage forms.

This limited visibility of options can lead to unintentional selection of the wrong medication or formulation. Additionally, the lack of a drop-down arrow indicating other available options further exacerbates this issue. Users may not be aware that they can scroll through the search results or that there are other options available beyond the first result. This can lead to frustration and errors as users may be forced to manually search for the medication they need or may simply select the first option without realizing there are other choices available.
