Configuring prescription queueing (new prescriber)

Note: This information applies to the new prescriber (see New prescriber).

You can configure three different aspects of prescription queuing (see Queued prescriptions and refill requests (new prescriber)).

Enabling providers to receive queued prescriptions

If you are a provider, other users can queue prescriptions for you only if your WorkDesk is enabled to view Prescriptions Pending Review. You can enable your own WorkDesk to view prescriptions pending review, or if you have administrator authority in Wolf EMR, you can enable all clinic providers to view them by default.

ClosedSteps
1. Perform one of the following actions:

If you are enabling queued prescriptions for yourself only, from the WorkDesk menu, choose Configure > Configure Workdesk .

If you are enabling queued prescriptions for all providers in your clinic, from the Wolf EMR home page, choose Configuration > Runtime Configuration tab > WorkDesk Preferences.

The WorkDesk User Preferences window opens.

2. On the General tab, in the Label Visibility area, beside Prescriptions Pending Review select the User Setting or Clinic Setting check box.

3. Click Save settings and exit .

Enabling providers to queue prescriptions for other providers

Clinical staff members or providers (such as residents, nurses, medical office assistants (MOA)) can queue prescriptions for other providers as long as they do not create any prescriptions under their own name.

A user with administrator authority in Wolf EMR can enable such providers to queue prescriptions for other providers.

2. From the Configuration menu, choose View > Physicians / Service Providers > Office Service Providers. The Physicians / Service Providers in Clinic window opens.

5. Click Save , and then close the window.
