@Tom Just curious, why does your clinician refuse to use electronic prescribing.

I basically want to have all pharmacies not contact us about refills. I imagine just clicking on the refills saves my MA a lot of time. I think there are two threads on this, but I am not concerned about my MA doing refills. We generally do a certain amount of refills or scripts for certain amounts of time based on the med. Adderall XR only three months without being seen. Oxycodone, same way. Zantac and you get 11 refills. But, after that we must see you.
Ironically, I was glancing at this while in a room, and for the first time ever, the parents were complaining about how the pharmacy was calling them about one or two meds that need to be refilled every month. I mean if a patient is on Pepcid with three refills, and a month later, I change it to Zantac, I don't generally call the pharmacy to tell them to delete the Pepcid. Then the patient just stops taking Niferex, and we continue to get refill requests for that. Only the patient really knows when they are out of a med or what they are on. We then decide based on the history of their medications, etc. with the help of the pharmacy at times whether or not the patient should or should not get the med or needs to come in for a visit. Most visits are scheduled.
