Is there a way to try the e-prescribing module (or at least enter my most used drugs into the database) during the 90 day trial period?

I guess the misconception is that you enter meds - all the meds are in the database and you simply enter them just like a scrip - type in the first few letters and they come up and then choose the proper one. As you put instructions in then the program will save the instructions with that med.

You need to talk with AC support about e prescribing, but I think you have to have purchased the program to use, but really the only thing different about e prescribing is the sending to the pharmacy. You can do everything else in the standard prescribing section and get a feel for how it works.

You just use the prescription writer. If you right click on a drug entered or prescribed and check codify, then you get the codified version of the drug and you will then be able to eprescribe smoothly. When we started eprescribing, we had to email Jon for some activation code. I used the prescription writer for sometime before I started eprescribing and I entered/prescribed drugs from the first day I used the program...during the trial period. When we initially tried the eprescribing, I did it with one pharmacy I work with alot and initially they were receiving the drugs by fax but that was because I hadn't "codified" the drug.
