How can I prepare for my e-prescribing training?
Personalized one-on-one training using a variety of common scenarios seems to work best for most prescribers. It is important to ask detailed questions during your training sessions, including:
- What happens if the patient is not matched in the system when a pharmacy sends renewal requests?
- Can I cover for my colleagues when they are on leave, and under whose name will the prescriptions be sent to the pharmacy?
- How does the system handle controlled substance prescriptions and pharmacy renewal requests for controlled substances?
- How do I write prescriptions to the pharmacy when a patient calls in a request via phone?
- How do I know whether the prescription was successfully sent to the pharmacy?
- How do I handle mail-order prescription writing?
- How do I create my favorite medication list?
- How do I search pharmacies within the practice database?
A good resource to help you prepare is the Clinician's Guide to E-Prescribing which is a free download available on our web site.
