Pack Size Updates - Refilling Prescriptions
To prevent medication errors when filling a prescription with repeats, a prompt displays to identify when a pack size has changed since the last fill. When refilling a prescription whose medication had a pack size update, a prompt displays in the Rx Detail window.
An alert also displays in the Alerts section of Rx Detail. It will take priority over all other notes and will appear at the top of the section. This alert will reauthorize the prescription with the remaining quantity based on the new pack size.
The first page of the Audit History window will also print with the hard copy of the prescription to be verified by the pharmacist.
