Clinical enables medical professionals to write prescriptions for drugs, durable medical equipment (DME), or supplies that can be printed for the patient or sent electronically to the pharmacy. With each new medication prescribed, Clinical automatically checks for, and alerts you to, the potential for significant drug-drug interactions or allergic reactions.

A Drug-Allergy Interaction alert message appears when a prescribed drug has the potential to interact with an allergen listed in a patient's allergy profile. There are three Drug-Allergy Alert security levels: Severe, Moderate, and Mild. Based on your Drug-Allergy Alert notification settings, you have the following choices when an alert appears: 

Create Prescription

  1. 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.

  3. Click Medications. The Active Medications page opens.
