Accessing the Prescription Writer

PracticeWorks contains prescription-writing functionality that enables you to prescribe and refill prescription drugs for a patient. You can access this feature by clicking Prescriptions in the charting module, Clipboard, or the Phone Inquiry window.

A prescription drug pick list has been added, enabling you to enter drugs and dosages prescribed by your practice. The list is displayed when you write a prescription.

You can associate the patient’s preferred pharmacy with the patient’s record, enabling you quick access to that information when calling in a prescription. See Patient’s Preferred Pharmacy for more information.

A record of patient prescriptions is displayed on the Prog Notes tab and on the Prescription Drug History window, which is displayed when you initiate the prescription-writing process.
