Dispense

The Dispense transaction contains the Record Dispense Processing Request message. This message is used to indicate that the prescription has been dispensed. All refills will be referred to as dispenses and use this same message. The Rx ID obtained from the Create message can have one, many, or no dispenses against it. DUR is also performed when the prescription is dispensed.

For any new paper prescriptions, Propel Rx will send an inferred Create New Prescription Request and the Fill Drug Prescription Activate (or Dispense) message in order to complete the transaction and record the prescription on the patient's EHR.

The following fields display in this section:

• Dispense ID - the ID provided by the EHR for the Dispense.

• Pharmacist - the pharmacist that will be submitted with the prescription.

• Refusal to Fill - allows the pharmacist to indicate that in their professional judgement, the prescription should not be filled. For more information, see Processing a Refusal to Fill.

• Result - the expander button only displays if the Dispense transaction failed.

• Detected Issue(s) - if there were any Detected Issues returned when the Dispense message was transmitted, they and any Issue Management codes entered can be viewed by selecting the expander button beside the Detected Issues field.
