@hpardess, unfortunately the OpenMRS Reference Application does not support recording drug prescriptions or lab orders, unless you do some dev work. (The underlying Platform does support this. And yes, we know these are basic and common requirements; we’re looking for someone to implement these in our reference UI! @mksd’s group forked the orderentryui module I mentioned earlier in this thread, but I don’t know if their fork can be used directly on the reference application.)
If you are looking to do a “standard EMR” we recommend you consider the Bahmni Distribution of OpenMRS. It support both drug orders and lab orders.
