Prescription Setup 

In the Main Menu, select Lists | Prescriptions.

Do not copy the above list for your own use without properly researching each item.

This list should contain a list of every prescription your practice commonly uses. The items on the list are only used as templates when writing prescriptions for patients, so items may be freely deleted or changed without any worry of changing any patient data. You will also be able to write prescriptions that are not on this list, so the list does not have to include every possible prescription.

Prescriptions are added using either the 'Add New' button or the 'Duplicate' which bases the new prescription on an existing one. In either case you will be in the prescription editing window:

The Controlled Substance box will cause the DEA# to be displayed as well as optionally send it to a separate Printer.

Ignore the RxNorm code.  It will not even be visible unless you are using the EHR, and it is useless to those users.

The notes section is only for your use and is not designed to go onto the patient prescription.

The alerts at the bottom link to Problems, Medications, or Allergies. This is most commonly used for allergies. First, add the allergy to the Allergy List. Then, in the window above, click Add Allergy as shown above. If you assign that allergy to a patient in their Medical section, then you will not be able to write an Rx without triggering a warning about the allergy.

If, for some reason, you want a custom message to show as the alert, then double click on the newly added alert in the list to the left of the 3 buttons.

Printing Setup

Printing customization is done in the Sheets section. For simplicity, we do not take full advantage of the sheets framework in prescriptions.  We don't put the sheet on the screen to let the user sign it or alter the text.

Using the Sheets framework, you should be able to adapt the printing to handle any regulations imposed by your state. Some example of ways you could customize your prescriptions:

* Remove various lines, boxes, and wording to enable printing to preprinted Rx forms.

* Add a dentist license number.

* Add an image.

* Change the orientation or size.

* Change the wording for generic substitution.

* Add a second signature line for generic substitution.

* Add an RxStateID field.

If you cannot handle local regulations for some reason, please contact us and we will add any additional options that might be needed.
