# Prescription History

The **Prescription History** offers healthcare professionals a streamlined and consolidated view of a patient’s medication history from previous visits. It simplifies the review process, enabling quick decision-making and efficient medication management. Users can append or overwrite previous prescriptions directly into the current visit without navigating through individual visit records.
