When using the Rx Module, users can save a medication, alongside specific instructions, that can be selected in future from a predefined list.
This helps minimize the amount of time it takes to prescribe a combination of commonly used medications and their associated details such as quantity, instructions, duration etc.
Please see instructions below on how to create an Rx Favourite in the Pro User Interface in OSCAR.
Note: Rx Favourites are specific to each provider. Adding new items or modifying existing items does not affect the list of favourite items that other providers see.
Create A Favourite in Pro Rx:
- Navigate to the Rx module of any patient (including a test patient)
- Write out a desired prescription (a new prescription, using ReRx, etc.). Include the following as needed:
-
- desired instructions
- method, route, duration, etc.
- Long term flag
- Comment
- etc.
-
- When ready to save the details of the Rx, click the Add to Favourites link at the bottom of the prescription.
- The message 'Favourite saved' will appear
- The saved medication will now display under the Favourites section on the right hand side of the Rx module.
Clicking on a desired Favourite item will start the prescription process for this medication as it was saved (with the previously saved name, instructions, quantity, long term flag, etc.). It can be adjusted as needed during the prescription process.
To edit existing favourites, click the Manage button at the top of the Favourite section in the Rx module. Users can modify existing favourites, remove favourites or categorize them into custom categories for easier access:
Creating Favourite Categories:
Once you have saved a favourite, you have the ability to set a category. This can help identify a same medication, different treatment for condition.
- Select Manage
- Select Add New Category
- Type in Label as desired, Enter to add
- From here you can review the pre-saved favorites and add to that Category
