The Patient Medication Summary Report provides a summarised list of all medications the selected patient has been dispensed since a defined date. The report condenses all the times the drug was dispensed to the patient and displays it as one entry.
This is useful when the patient requires a snapshot of their medication list, for example, when performing a Home Medication Review, or when visiting a hospital or specialist.

1. Click the Reports menu, then click 3. Customers and select 9. Patient Medication Summary.
