Drug Reports - Drug Usage Since Last Report

A new Drug Usage Since Last Report has been added to the Drug Reports screen (or <ALT + S>).

When this report is selected, the report Date Range filters are disabled. The From date is automatically selected as the last date this report was generated and the To date is set to today.

When generating this report for the first time, the Date interval is set to Yesterday - Today.

This report displays all the scripts displayed within the date range, ordered alphabetically by Drug Name for all patients. A Date and Time stamp are included in the reported header to clearly identify the interval for this report. As script data is updated in real time, this report several more than one in the same day.
