Make A Prescription

In this tutorial, we will walk through how to make a prescription for a patient.

At the top of every page, you will find an entry that says Prescribe. To make a new prescription, click on the entry anytime.

You are now at the prescribe page. There are several steps involved in making a new prescription, but there is a progress tracker on the right of the screen to guide you through it. First we will pick the patient to make the prescription for.

Choose Patient

There are two options regarding picking the patient: you can pick from a list of the existing patients in the account, or you can add a new patient to the system.

Choose Existing Patient

To pick an existing patient, you will click on the Choose Existing Patient button on the patient form box.

As you can see, you list of patients will pop up. You may navigate the list through the pagination system, or search for the patient directly.

Once you have located the patient you desire, simply click the Choose button right next to the entry.

The patient is now selected - the progress tracker also indicates so. To pick another patient, or add a new patient instead, you can just click Select Another Patient.

Add New Patient

Alternatively, you can prescribe to a new patient that is not in the system yet. To do so, fill in the patient information in the Add New Patient box.

The minimal information required is First Name, Last Name, and Phone. Date of Birth is usually recommended, so that patients with same names can be easily distinguished. In addition, you may add notes to the Note section for any other relevant information.

As you enter information about the patient, the system will try to identify duplicates - namely the patients with the same first name, last name, and phone number. If you think the patient you are trying to add is indeed a duplicate, click the Choose button right next to the warning, which will let you select the patient already in the system. Otherwise you can just ignore the warning if you are confident the patient you are adding is unique.

You may enter the rest of the information. When the minimally required information is entered, the progress tracker on the right will indicate so. Once you are done, we are ready to move onto the next step.

Choose Provider Contact

Next you will pick a provider contact for the patient. The provider contact is used for call-in routings, alerts, as well as other important settings.

In the Choose Existing Provider box you will see your existing provider contacts listed. Use the search function as well as the pagination to locate the contact you want, and then simply click the radio box associated with the entry.

Alternatively, you can choose to add a new provider contact at the spot. You will click the Add New Provider button you saw in the previous step, which will bring you a dialog that allows you to set up a new provider contact. To learn about the details for adding a provider contact, see [PLACEHOLDER].

When you have selected the contact, as seen in the progress tracker, we will move onto the next step

Consent

Before you jump to selecting the interventions to prescribe, you must first acknowledge that the patient has given the consent to receive communications from Epharmix. Click the checkbox next to the consent text to acknowledge the consent.

As you see, the list of interventions are now available for prescription.

Choose Interventions

Epharmix offers a portfolio of interventions targetting different disease states. You may choose any of the interventions that fit your patient’s conditions; to quickly filter out the interventions you desire, use the specialty filter. In this case, you will prescribe EpxCOPD for your patient.

To prescribe EpxCOPD, click the checkbox right next to its entry. You will see a detailed prescription form appear. In this form, you will setup the various preferences for the patient, such as the messsage mechanism (call or text), language, message time of day, and so on. Most intervention forms will have its defaults fill in, but modify as you like.

For some interventions, you can customize the alert threshold. Click on the Alert Thresholds tab if you want to explore the default thresholds or modify it to your needs.

Moreover, to see a sample of the messages for the intervention, click the Message Sample tab. Note that the sample is just a fragment of the intervention program. Please contact team@epharmix.com if you want full details for the interventions.

Once you finish filling in the information, take a look at the progress tracker. Since you have all the necessary information filled in for the prescription, the Prescribe Intervention(s) button is now available. Click the button to confirm the prescription.

And congratulations, you have just made a new prescription! You may choose any of the options present on the success dialog to proceed. By default, if you close the dialog or click OK, you will be directed to the patient details page.

As you can see, the EpxCOPD prescription is now active for the patient.
