/prescriptions/new-rx
The New Rx tab collects every prescription that needs a decision: patient requests, prepared drafts, and drafts that need a fix.
Steps
- Open Prescriptions and select the New Rx tab.
- Use the filters to narrow the list: All, Ready for Rx, AI drafts, Needs review or Needs correction. Each shows a count. Ready for Rx shows the requests that need a prescription; the Order Requests tab lists every open request.
- In the Action column, select New Rx to start a prescription for a request, Review to open a draft, or Repair for a draft that needs correction. Select ▾ next to a request for its other choices, such as Open, Close, Filled elsewhere or Reject and refund. Each row shows only what you're allowed to do for it.
- On the draft, check the medication details, delivery, Source request and Previous prescriptions.
- To approve it as written, select Sign Rx, or Sign & send to also send it to the pharmacy.
- To change it first, select Edit, make your changes, then select Edit and Sign (or Sign & send).
- To turn it down, select Reject…, type a reason, then select Reject prescription.
- To have a draft rewritten instead, type in Instruct the agent and select Send instruction. The draft stays pending.
Good to know
- When nothing is waiting, the tab shows Caught up.
- Providers can sign several drafts together from Ready to sign. See Sign several prescriptions at once.
- The Order Requests tab uses the same Action button and ▾ choices for each request. A request whose check-in needs a look shows Review check-in, and one still waiting for the client's card or payment shows Open.
- Staff who are not providers see a note that provider approval is required.
