Hello everyone,
I am struggling to figure out the least time consuming policy on handling fax requests from pharmacies. I do not have e-prescribing. Should I sign, fax back, scan and keep everything as outgoing correspondence or sign, fax back, shred and document refill as a message saved in the chart? Both ways seem to be counterintuitive. I am sure there are better ways to handle this, I just can not overcome some mental block.
Thank you.
We use a Brother Fax and also keep the faxes on the computer. The front office takes the request and sends me a message of the meds requested and which pharmacy (fax #).
I open the refill tab and refill the prescriptions in Amazing Charts and then fax the new prescription to the pharmacy. For the Navy Pharmacy we just print out the prescriptions on paper and the patient picks them up.
