Prescriptions Tab

The Active Prescriptions tab contains a list of the most relevent prescriptions in the patient history.  

These are separated out into three sections:

• Approved and Being Filled (prescriptions that have been sent to the Pharmacy Queue)
• Available Refills (previously issued prescriptions that have refills)
• Unexpired and Active prescriptions (previously issued prescriptions for which the label expiration date has not yet passed

This tab also allows you to also add a new prescription, edit a requested prescription, and approve a requested prescription.

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.)

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.

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.

The Vaccination History tab displays a list of any items that were issued either against an order or against a prescription that are marked on product setup as a Vaccine.

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

This tab also includes a list of any Client Reported medication.  For the purposes of the Vaccine Report, client reported medications are not included, but they do provide background information for the patient's history. 

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

The Medication History tab is a summary of any medications or vaccines that have been given to the patient over the course of their visits at your hospital.

This includes any products that are considered medications but for which a prescription was not issued.
