Home Forums Discussions General Discussion What is the best way to handle refills with E-Rx

I am using AC v5, and just started using E-Rx. I like it so far, very simple to use.
(I love that it is seemless with v5. I had tried an earlier
version with NewCrop on v4 and gave up.)

I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to handle refill requests.

For example, right now most of our refill requests come over the fax from pharmacies and over the phone from patients.

One way would be for a nurse to do it all, (as they now call in refills without me being there), but it appears that I can not authorize anyone to do the refills for me.

I would love it if the nurse could prepare the prescription (medication, amount, pharmacy, refills, etc) and send it to me to verify and sign off. It does not appear it works this way though.

So is the best way for a nurse to type in a note attached to the chart for the requested medication / pharmacy, and send it to me? Perhaps entereing the preferred pharmacy in the demographics section before sending it to me to save me that step?

Has anyone come up with a process that works well for handling refill requests?

Thanks,
