To switch this on, from the Main Dispensing screen, go to Options, Print Options, Use PMPs.

Drug Purposes Utility

There are pre-set purposes loaded into the RxOne system. To add more to the list of pre-set purposes, on the main Dispense screen go up to 'Windows', 'Drug Purposes Utility', and select 'Add Purpose'.  

Setting up and Printing a PMP

Select the group of medications* you want to print, then right mouse click to bring up the drop box of selections, select Print Duplicate, Print PMP.

A preview page will come up, fill in the dosing details, special instructions and purposes. To select the purposes click on the box to bring up the selection list.  Select the purpose you want printed. Once the set up is complete, select 'print'. (* Use 'group selected scripts' in patient history if need to regroup).

PRN medication

To print a medication under the heading "PRN medication": highlight the item in the patient history, right mouse click and select 'yes' to PRN medication.   

How do I add OTC medications to the card?

Select either 'Add Regular Drug' or 'Add PRN Drug'. An extra blank line will appear on the preview page. Then type in the OTC drug name and select the drug from the selection list.  If the OTC drug is not on the list, press escape and it will just use the name as typed in.    

How do I add other dispensed medications to the card from the patient history?

*To add other dispensed medications onto the chart that are not in the group, you can do the above or you can highlight the medications from the patient history, right mouse click to bring the 'drop box' up and then select 'Group selected scripts', then select print duplicate etc.

Add blank lines to the PMP

Any number of blank lines can be added to the med card to allow space for handwriting extra medications. To create extra blank lines on the card, go to the Printer Setup, select 'Medication Review', 'Advanced' and type in the number of blank lines needed. Once this is set, extra blank boxes will appear on the preview page under both regular and PRN meds on every card.
