Duplicate Checking

If the patient already has a record of this medication on their Profile, a Duplicate Checking prompt appears to confirm how to handle the new prescription.

To gain better insight on how to handle the new prescription, the Duplicate Checking prompt displays information about the existing prescription on file, such as:

Rx#
Quantity filled
Days supply
Refills remaining

Based on the information displayed, select one of the following:

Refill - refills the prescription currently on file.
ReAuth - reauthorizes the existing prescription on file, voiding any repeats remaining.
New Rx - creates a new prescription and does not link it to the current prescription on file.
Cancel - returns to the Intake window.

For a quick overview of the Duplicate Checking prompt, watch the video below.

Setting the Duplicate Checking Preference

The Check for Duplicates (days) preference determines the number of days used to retrieve prescriptions for duplicate ingredient or therapy checking. Duplicate interaction checking is only performed for active prescriptions on the patient's Profile whose Fill Date falls within the number of days specified. The number of days is calculated from the current date, working backwards.

To set the Check for Duplicates (days) preference:

Select More > Pharmacy > Rx Detail.
In the Check for Duplicates (days) field, enter the number of days you want Propel Rx to look back at when performing a duplicate check.
Select Save.
