If you frequently write specific prescriptions at your practice, they can be added to your Doctor's Favorites List. Customize and save route and frequency details, special instructions, dispense information and associated diagnosis to save time creating common prescriptions. There are multiple ways to do this.
Prescribers have their own individual Favorites Lists. The Favorites List Copy Tool allows a prescriber's Favorites List to be copied to one or more prescribers at the practice. This is helpful for quickly setting up new prescribers.
