Add a Record for Prescriptions Given Elsewhere

If a patient has come to your practice with a current prescription from another practice, you can add the prescription record without generating a new prescription to print.

4. Highlight the required medication and click OK. The Prescription Item Details window is displayed.
5. Select the Given Elsewhere tick box near the top of the screen. The Provider will default to the patient’s external primary provider. Change if necessary, or if unknown, enter ‘External Provider’.
6. Add a Start and End Date if required.
7. Enter the dose of the medication in the Dose field if known.
8. If the dose is unknown, enter a ‘?’ into the Dose field.
