I asked about the template storage capacity because when I saw how templates worked with Orders, my immediate response was: "I wish I could do that with prescriptions." Just open up an empty Rx page, right click, and blast out a templated prescription.
I completely agree about the templates for prescriptions. It's really too bad one can't make one of the autofill prescription in the registry permanent. Then your long prednisone taper would come up just by typing an asterisk or whatever. But, of course, I am working on this too.
Dear Sir or Madam Apothecary:
I should be most obliged if you would compound the following for %FNAME %LNAME, to wit:
Three (3) drams anhydrous carbonate
Two and one half (2 1/2) grains iodinated camphor
Instruct him to rub this into his scalp with great vigour.
I remain your servant,
Brian Cotner, M.D.
And with prescription templates, I could type all that with one click!
Brian
1. You are way too funny!
2. Another thing prejudicial again pediatrics is I can't use the age template "%Age" thing because 1/3 of my practice turns out to be 0 years old. Maybe someone has a suggestion on that.
3. Can that concoction be used for head lice?
BTW, since I am bringing up head lice and in this part of the country they tend to be resistant to Nix as well as other nasty chemicals, I have been using Nix combined with Bactrim with much better outcomes. Anyone else?
