"prn" or "as needed" drugs in deciding level of risk

[pawar.yogesh93@gmail.com]

While deciding level in risk in MDM, can we consider prescription drugs which are documented as "on prn basis" or "as needed" for moderate level of risk?

Thank you in advance!

IMHO, PRN qualifies a prescription management and would qualify in the moderate risk level. A prescription medication doesn't always need to be used on a full time basis. The doctor had to make that decision as to how it should be used for that particular patient.
