Amending the Next Refill from the Patient Folder

You can also open a patient's profile from the Workbench.

  1. Press the Patient button.
  2. Search for and select the patient.
  3. Press the Profile tab in the patient's folder.
  4. Highlight the prescription(s) on the Profile. If multiple prescriptions are highlighted, they must all have the same prescription status.
  5. Press the Rx > Correct.
  6. Press Amend Next in the Correct Rx window.
  7. The prescription opens in an Rx Detail pop-up window and AMEND NEXT is displayed at the top of the window. You can change any fields that are enabled.

Note: If you change the quantity authorized (QA) for a refill, a new prescription is created. You can choose to fill the remaining refills before creating a new prescription or to cancel the remaining refills.

  1. Press the OK button to save and apply the changes.
  2. The Amend Prescription prompt asks "Do you wish to print a new file copy and label?". To print a new label set, press Yes. Press No if you do not want a label set at this time.
  3. If multiple prescriptions were selected for Amend Next, the next prescription will appear in Rx Detail. Repeat steps 5-8 for each prescription.

Once all selected prescriptions have been amended, the screen returns to the Profile and no rows will be highlighted. The amend next prescriptions are added to the Completed tab on the Workbench; they have a status of Amend Next and do not have a prescription number (they have Rx#0).

Note: If a prescription has administration times outlined in the Administration Details window and you are amending this prescription to update the Admin Time(s) outlined in Rx Detail, the Administration Details window appears with a prompt to ensure you are reviewing or making any necessary changes prior to filling.
