Prescriber Preferences

In the patient's Preferences tab, prescribers can be added to display prescribers that a prescription for the patient was submitted under and can be used to identify a patient's primary prescriber.

By default, when a prescription is processed under a prescriber, their information will display in the prescriber preferences section of the Preferences tab.

These prescribers cannot be removed from the Preferences tab. Only prescribers that were added manually can be removed from the Preferences tab.

Use the dropdowns below to learn more about adding, removing and setting prescribers to be a primary prescriber.

By default, when a prescription is processed under a prescriber, their information will display in the prescriber preferences section of the Preferences tab.
