Clinical makes it easy to renew both active and discontinued medications from a patient's chart. When renewing a medication, note the following:
- Medications that were added to a patient's chart for informational purposes may require a new prescription if required information (e.g., instructions, quantity, etc.) was not included.
- When renewing in response to an "Rx Renewal Received" message, the prescription information may be changed.
- A renewed prescription may trigger a drug-drug interactions or a drug-allergy interaction alert.
- ePrescription of controlled substances (EPCS) enrolled providers can electronically renew a mix of controlled substances and other medications in bulk.
- Providers have the option to print specific medication renewals from within the same workflow.
Access Patient Medications
- Enter the first 2–3 letters of the patient's name or date of birth (mm/dd/yyyy) in the top navigation bar search box.
- Click to select the patient from the auto-populated results. The patient's Facesheet page opens.
