Sticky Feature is a tool in Rcopia that auto-populates prescription information by remembering and capturing ways medications were prescribed in the past. This feature captures how providers under your practice have prescribed a particular prescription in the past 14 days. The "sticky" records are automatically removed after 14 days if not used.
This feature is useful if there are prescriptions that you prescribe often.

Example Scenario
You want to create a new prescription for a patient, so you begin filling out prescription details. See on the prescription details screen that the fields under Patient Directions were auto-populated by our Sticky Feature. This feature remembers how this particular medication was prescribed in the past and auto-populates all of the prescription details.
