Set the Prescription Printer and Preference Defaults

The Prescription Printer and Preference Defaults can only be configured by an Administrator. Use the following steps to set the prescription printer and other prescription defaults.

 

 

  1. Click Edit > Preferences.
     

  2. Click the General tab.
     

  3. In the Prescriptions field, select the Printer you would like to use for printing prescriptions.



     

  4. Click the Prescription tab.
     

  5. In the Printing section, select the Number of Prescriptions you want to print per page.
     

  6. In the Rx Format field, browse to the Prescription Format.  The format is used for printing medical prescriptions and will be based on your state and the type of prescription paper you are using.
     

  7. In the Procedure Format field, the PROCDefaultSmall.cml file will appear. This field cannot be modified. If the Use Procedure Format option is selected, the system will use the legacy PROCDefaultSmall.cml format when printing procedure orders. If the Use Procedure Format option is not selected, the system will use the default format when printing procedure orders.
     

  8. In the Drug Interaction Setting field, click the None, Contraindicated Only, Contraindicated and Severe, or Contraindicated, Severe and Moderate radio button for the level of drug interaction warnings you would like displayed.
     

  9. In the Default Destination field, click the Printer or E-Prescribe radio button to select a default method in which the prescriptions will be printed or sent. This setting can be overridden on an individual basis by selecting a different method via the patient's face sheet when printing/sending a prescription.

    NOTE: The Rx Format, Use Procedure Format, Drug Interaction Setting, and Default Destination preferences are user-specific settings and will be based upon whichever user is currently logged onto the system when the change to the preference is made.
     

  10. In the E-Rx default user to receive unmatchable refill requests field, select the appropriate User.
     

  11. Click the Set button.  

     

  12. When finished, click the OK button.
