Number of doses of medication to flow from active medication in order chronology to prescription entry on discharge med rec.

Occasionally when a patient is admitted to the hospital they are placed on a medication that only needs a certain number of doses. In the example attachment the medication is apixaban and is only needed for 49 doses. This information is placed in the "duration" question when placing the order in order entry. When the provider performs the discharge medication reconciliation and continues this active medication the remaining doses do not automatically populate into the prescription entry screen. In this example attached the provider must refer to the original order within order entry and manually calculate the remaining doses, end date, and quantity of medication needed. Is there a way that this information could automatically populate within prescription entry? This would decrease human error in calculation, decrease medication errors, and increase patient satisfaction.
