Repeat Prescriptions

Once an item has been dispensed and endorsed for a patient, it is saved in the database.

If that same patient at some point in the future requires the same item, with the same quantity and directions, there is no need to put the same information in again.

Instead you can use the Repeat function.

Select a patient in the normal way. There will be a list of all the previous items that patient has had dispensed. Some items may have been dispensed over 12 months ago.

To display the full list of items, press ALT-S.

Next to each item is a number. To generate a repeat prescription, simply press the corresponding number of that item (or use the up/down arrow keys as these will allow you to navigate further down the list). This will then highlight it. Now press F6. This now adds a new item to the list, with a dot next to it. You can select multiple items in this way, and arrange the items in the order they appear on the prescription. When you have selected all the items you need, press F8 to finish. This then goes to the endorsement screen for review. When satisfied, press F10 to finish.

If the quantity or directions of any of the products needs to be amended, press ESC to go back to the previous screen. Highlight the item marked for repeat by using the arrow keys (This is the item with a red dot next to it) and press F4 to change the dose, or F5 to change the quantity.

Press F8 to review the script again, and finish by pressing F10.
