relevant prescriptions in the patient history.

To Refill a prescription, click on the blue refill counter next to the prescription number to open the refill dialogue box. (See How to Refill a Prescription for more information.)

How do I use the Daily Fills tab?

If your hospital utilizes the Daily Fill process to provide medication for inpatients, then this tab will show a history of any medications dispensed as part of that workflow, as well as any active Daily Fill prescriptions that have been issued today or will be issued tomorrow.

Prescriptions which are Approved for tomorrow can be cancelled from this screen by clicking on the Cancel icon. next to the prescription name.

If a patient is Discharged from the hospital, then all of tomorrow's prescriptions for Daily Fills will also automatically cancel.  You will need to issue a new prescription with Go Home labeling selected to create a version of the prescription that is intended for client usage.

How do I use the Control Drug Machine Dispensing tab?

If a patient has received any medication from a Controlled Drug Machine that is routed to the patient record as a prescription, it will appear on this tab.

Other options for items dispensed from a CDM include Medication or Bill Only.  If an item is set to be Bill Only, it will only appear on the episode's order, and not in the Prescription or Medication tabs.

Items issued from VetView will also print on the Vaccine Record which can be provided to the client as proof of immunization.

How do I use the Complete History tab?

The Complete History tab is a list of all prescriptions that have ever been issued for the patient, throughout their visits at your hospital.  This list may be very long, but the prescriptions are sorted in chronological order by Rx Date, so the most recent prescriptions should appear at the top, regardless of status.  However, the columns can be sorted, in case you want to see the oldest prescriptions first, or sort by any other column header such as Drug Name, Prescribing DVM, or Episode.

This complete list can be printed out and provided to the client, or placed in a physical copy of the patient's medical record.
