Record what you prescribe in the visit, so the prescription stays with the patient's record.

Before you start

Check the allergy line at the head of the patient's chart. If it says Allergies have not been asked about, ask and record the answer first.

Steps

  1. Open the patient's visit.
  2. Choose the Prescriptions tab.
  3. Choose Record a prescription.
  4. Fill in Medicine, Dose, Route, How often, Duration and Instructions.
