Home Forums Discussions Problems unable to reprint prescriptions

Hi all
sometimes we have trouble with a printer, and have to go into the prescriptions and re-print it. We can only do this by prescribing it AGAIN, and it looks like we gave the pt two. How do we get around this?
Thanks!

I do the same thing as you in this circumstance.

Julia,

What you want to do is go back into the prescription writer under Current Medications. Right click on the medication you just prescribed and choose Re-Print. It will print immediately to your default printer. It will show up as if you only printed one script both in the plan of your note and in the history. If you had prescribed from the drop down list and not the chart, it will be documented only once in the message box.

The above is what occurs if you actually print a script and, in fact, Re-Print will be selectable while Re-Transmit will not.

If you ePrescribe and then need to send it again, you do the same: Right click on the med, but now only Re-Transmit will be selectable while Re-Print will not.

hey there, thanks for the help
I have looked but don't see a "reprint" anywhere- no button, no drop down list.
Where can I find it?
Thanks,
Julia

Right click on the medicine, it in next to the bottom

DO you mean: open pt, summary, right click? All we see is "print" or "details". Under any of these choices I don't see "reprint".
I have 6.1.2
thanks for your help

You can enlarge the photo by single clicking on it.

If you print the med, you will see this:



If you ePrescribe the med, you will see this:

thanks!!

This is the first time we are both seeing the same thing, lol.

I didn't realzie you had meant to go INTO the medicine list; I was still looking at it on the summary sheet and trying to right click there.

Yeah, that is what I thought. The biggest tip: Stay away from the summary sheet. It is dark and scary in there. LOL.

One little thing that many of us have asked for is to change the immunization record tab to the default, since it is what you most likely want to see there anyway.

Another question related to this: What if you print a prescription with the wrong date, then go in and print a new prescription with the correct date. Both prescriptions are now in the medication history & it looks like we gave the patient the medication two days apart. Is there a way to delete the script printed in error from the history?

Hello,

Unfortunately you can inactivate or remove a medication, but there is no way to remove the history of the medication.
Your only option at this point is to add an addendum to the patient's chart explaining the duplication of the medication prescription.

Thank you,
