Over the years I have changed to write more descriptive prescriptions. I include what the medication should be taken for if it is a ling term medication, 1 tablet by mouth for diabetes. This way the patient knows better why they are taking a certain medication. I try to reconcile the med list with the other providers. I like to print a med list for pts but this is a little time consuming in AC. My problem is that the refill request from the pharmacy, when matched, change my directions from 0.5 tablet to 1/2 tablet which is not allowed with the EPCS. Just like his problem of the pharmacy adding Johnny in the prescription but AV rejected it and he has to go in and correct. I don't think that that the directions should be changed in AC even if matched to the pharmacy.
