Pharmacist Check screen overview
A fast and accurate dispense verification process is a must for Pharmacists. With the Minfos Pharmacist Check screen, Pharmacists can verify the patient, their prescriptions and their medication history – all from a single screen.
The dedicated screen enables Pharmacists to access more information, action changes and perform clinical tasks during the final checking process. It assists with ensuring the correct medication is supplied to the correct patient. The screen allows Pharmacists to:
- Perform the drug scan check process
- View all the items dispensed to the patient on that day
- View the electronic copy of a prescription for an eScript
- Easily access the patient’s medication history and customer notes
- Record clinical interventions and review drug-drug interaction alerts
Throughout the year, we have further increased the useability and efficiency of this screen. New features include:
- Prompt for items that have not been scan checked
- Identify scripts with PBS rejections
- Access and edit options
- Add items to an ePad order
- Warning prompt for a different patient
- Improved display of the Copy of eScript
- Scripts on File indicator
Prompt for items that have not been scan checked
If you have any scripts displaying on the Pharmacist Check Screen that have not been correctly scan checked, we have built in a warning prompt to appear. This prompt will highlight the risk and warn the Pharmacist that scripts may be supplied that have not been successfully scan checked.
Identify scripts with PBS rejections
If a script has returned a PBS rejection code, this is now indicated on the Pharmacist Check screen. For rejected scripts, the claim rejection icon ‘Err’ displays in front of the corresponding script. Now, you can easily identify and fix the error from the Pharmacist Check screen.
Access and edit options
We have added a number of options to access and edit in the Pharmacist Check screen. These include:
- Edit the selected prescription
- Edit patient/customer profile
- View or edit customer’s notes
- View patient’s full dispensing history
- View any drug interactions
- View or record clinical interactions
- Review PBS Rejections
Add items to an ePad order
You can now access the ePad order from the:
- Pharmacist Check screen
- Dispense Form
- Script Options window
By accessing the ePad in the Pharmacist Check screen, you can quickly add items to a new or existing ePad order without having to navigate out of the screen. You can also add to the ePad order by using our handy keyboard shortcut [Alt + :]. Also, if a current ePad order is open, you will be notified that the order is being edited and you will have the option to create a new ePad order.
Pharmacists Check screen warning prompt for a different patient
If a current patient's items have not all been scan checked and a dispense label for a different patient is scanned, a warning prompt will appear. This assists with ensuring that the checking of one patient’s script is completed before moving on to the next patient.
Improved display of the copy of eScripts
When you dispense an eScript repeat and select the script in the Pharmacist Check screen, you will now see the Repeat Authorisation Form. We have also added tabs to switch between the Copy of the Original eScript and the Copy of the Repeat Authorisation form. What's more, we have added a ‘Dispensed’ watermark to help you to easily identify eScripts that have been dispensed,
Scripts on File indicator
We have added the Scripts on File indicator to display in the Pharmacist Check screen.
