Prescriptions can be added with default descriptions, frequencies, and quantities. If there is a medication for which you prescribe two different frequencies or quantities, you can set up separate codes so you will not have to modify the default information each time you prescribe the medication.
To add a prescription code:
Select Tables > Drugs & Prescriptions > Prescriptions. The Prescription Search window is displayed.
Click New. The Prescription Code Data Entry window is displayed.
In the Code and Description fields, enter a unique code and description.
In the Frequency field, enter the dosage and frequency.
In the Quantity field, enter the amount of medication.
Select Controlled Substance if the notation is required for this drug.
When this option is selected, other required inputs are enabled.
Click Ok.
Use the Prescription Search window (Tables > Drugs & Prescriptions > Prescriptions) to select a code to edit or delete. Use the search feature, or click Display All to locate the code.
When you edit or delete a prescription code, you are prompted to confirm the action.
