Home Forums Discussions Problems Version 5 e prescribing

Does anybody know when the e-prescriber is going to work, for those of us who for whatever reason it doesn't? Thanks.

I suggest emailing Joe@amazingcharts.com, since he has offered several times on these boards to work with anyone who can't get eRx working.

Thanks, I will try that. He was very helpful previously but told me it was in process about 3 weeks ago Kind of a pain.

I have tried to eprescribe. It seems that I cannot type in the drug and prescription myself but have to select from a predesignated list(some of which are misspelled). I've tried a single script but it tells me I'm not authorized to prescribe. I gave up. For now we just seem to have too many bug and too many other fish to fry. We will the bugs be gone? I have all the pharmacies and go through the steps and it just won't let me send.

Amazing charts contacted me and told me I had to download .24 and that seems to have done the trick for my e-scribing.
With regard to the drop down list, to get around that if you pick any medication on the drop down list and back space to erase it, you can then type in any medication you want.

Will have to try again tomorrow.

E-prescribing in V.24 without difficulty as of yesterday. Next challenge....spirometry.

You can type anything as scrip but in order to do allergy checking or formulary checking you must pick off list of codified meds. If it ends up in italics you didn't get it codified right

You also cannot e-prescribe it out if it is not codified.

You can e prescribe it, but it will go as a fax from newcrop.

It usually tells me that the (uncoded) Rx cannot be eprescribed, I then send it to the printer.

What do you mean by "codified"? I have been successful in eprescribing every script I have tried. Not trying on every patient due to time contraints if it should not go through. So far whenever I try it goes through. The only script I have had not go through is Robitussin AC. Is that due to the codeine?

Codified means that it is matched with something in their database and can also be checked for interactions. For me, if they are italicized, they have failed. As I think about it, that may have been in V23, and I am not sure I have tried italicized Rxs inn V24.

I had a couple of strange things happen yesterday. On 2 pharmacies (one of them a Walgreens) it gave me an error message suggesting there was no fax number in the database for the pharmacy. Very strange.

I believe that schedule II drugs need to have a hand written Rx. I did not try it so I suspect is is the codeine that is the problem.

Another thing, is it me, or is the prescription writer slower than it used to be in loading? I didn't notice a difference when I switched from V 23 to V24, but lately it has been very slow to load (? 10-15 secs)
