Notes from the review desk
Medication review flags are different from source status
Understand why DoseFolio keeps “reviewed this session” separate from an imported medication’s active status and recorded directions.
A status field belongs to its source
The active count reads the status supplied with each medication. DoseFolio does not infer current use from the age of an entry, its appearance in the list, or the presence of directions. If the record raises a question about current treatment, the interface gives you an entry to discuss rather than an answer to assume.
A review flag belongs to this visit to the app
Checking an entry stores its ID in the interface’s review state. It does not alter the medication object. This separation lets the same recorded information support different personal review sessions without silently turning a checklist action into a clinical edit.
The export preserves the distinction
Each exported line says whether the entry was reviewed in this session. The review label accompanies the medication text; it does not replace the source’s status. Someone reading the file should treat it as a record of your review activity, with any unanswered questions handled separately.
What an operator can extend
A business extending DoseFolio could add a note field or improve how discrepancies are displayed. Such additions should state whether they are local annotations or updates to another system. The implemented service is read-only, and patient imports are awaiting activation.
FinchNode carries the record; DoseFolio tracks the review
The medication and allergy categories in this implementation arrive through FinchNode. DoseFolio’s contribution is the review experience layered on that response. Keeping the two kinds of state distinct makes it possible to explain exactly what a checked box means.
Questions about this guide
Can the checklist change a medication from active to inactive?
No. The interface keeps review progress separate from the imported status field.
