Simplify authorizing provider validation for scripts
We are an office with 20+ doctors, most of whom are residents. We received multiple calls to verify the physicians who have authorized a script. Currently, authorizing provider is not easily available from Patient >> Notes>> Medical Rx. The workarounds that I received to date are as follows:
1.) Enable Preferences>> Print Defaults>> Disable "Do NOT print RX older than today.
2.) Patient>>Actions section>> Print/View>> Security File
Option 1 creates additional security risk because it allows users to print the same script multiple times. I'm not comfortable with disabling this flag in general but especially not in mass.
Option 2 is a very inefficient process for the clinical staff to pull and review. The list contains all prescriptions, changes, etc ordered by provider id so clinical staff may have to review the whole report for a single script.
The provider id is readily available on the Rx tables and there is space on the app form. Could you please add the authorizing provider to the Prescription Hx & Medication Hx line items? Thanks!
This is part of a feature we’re working on for the release of 17.1, it’s currently in beta.
