Creating prescriptions (new prescriber)

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

You can prescribe a medication from almost any window related to a patient via the SMART menu. Wolf EMR contains an extensive searchable medications list, enabling you to quickly select an appropriate medication to prescribe.

You can enter prescription directions using discrete entry fields (for example, for dose, frequency, and duration), or you can enter prescription directions as free-text in the instructions field. Using a variety of entry options, you can create:

Basic prescriptions (see Creating basic prescriptions (new prescriber))

PRN prescriptions (see Prescribing PRN (take-as-needed) medications (new prescriber))

Prescriptions for compound medications (see Prescribing compound medications (new prescriber))

Concurrent dose prescriptions (see Creating concurrent dose prescriptions (new prescriber))

Sequential dose prescriptions (see Creating sequential dose prescriptions (new prescriber))

Variable dose prescriptions (see Creating variable dose prescriptions (new prescriber))

Adjust-as-directed prescriptions (see Creating adjust-as-directed prescriptions (new prescriber))

Prescriptions for medical devices and other non-medication treatments (see Prescribing medical devices and other non-medication treatments (new prescriber))

You can print more than one medication on a single prescription printout (see Prescribing multiple medications (new prescriber)). Additional medications on a prescription can be new medications for the patient, or refilled medications.

When you prescribe multiple medications, the EMR tracks the medications in a visible area, enabling you to review your prescribed medications before printing the complete prescription.
