Batch ePrescribe Medications

The batch prescribe feature allows providers to ePrescribe multiple medications (including EPCS) for a patient in a single order, reducing redundant data entry and streamlining the prescribing process.

eRx enrollment is required for providers to send batch prescriptions. EPCS enrollment is also required when providers are prescribing controlled substances in the batch.

Batch Prescribe All batch prescriptions are saved until the provider cancels the batch or sends the batch to the pharmacy. This allows providers to add prescriptions anytime during their patient care workflow and send the prescriptions when the batch is finalized. Create a prescription for the patient. Note: If a batch prescription was saved for the patient, click View Order Summary to review the saved prescriptions. Click Add Rx to prescribe another medication. A banner displays with the prescriptions added to the order. Note: If the provider is not eRx enabled, an error message displays. Continue to add prescriptions, as necessary. When the last prescription is populated, click View Order Summary. The Order Summary page opens.

Send Batch Prescriptions All medications prescribed displays on the order summary page. Review the prescription to verify the correct medication, quantity, refills, patient instructions, reason for prescription (optional), and pharmacy is correct before sending the batch to the pharmacy. Review all prescriptions in the batch. To permanently remove a medication from the order summary, click the trash icon. To add an additional prescription, click Add Another Rx. To cancel the batch and permanently remove all medications from the order summary, click Cancel Order. Click Send to Pharmacy when finished. The prescriptions are sent to the pharmacy. If the batch contains controlled substances, authenticate the prescription.
