Multi-script modification of the medication list of the POMR

One solution to the multiplicity of entries required for a complete Problem-Oriented Medical Record is a prescription blank which duplicates itself when overlaid on a medication list of corresponding format by the use of contact-activvated self-printing carbon paper. Used in a large group practice at Fort Sill, such a form yields an exact duplicate of all prescriptions sequentially for validation of prescription information, and accurate, current information on medication in use, while decreasing physician writing time by approximately one half. Screening for drug interactions and for overuse of abuse of medications becomes almost automatic, as the medication list is always before the physician during the writing of all prescriptions.
