When an MD, NP, PA, or CNM prints prescriptions for medications, the system checks the name of the provider to be printed on each scrip against the name of the provider currently logged in to the system. If the two are not the same, the provider requesting the printed prescriptions has the option to change the prescriptions selected for printing to his or her own name.
The name of the provider to printed is displayed to in parentheses after the summary description of the order in the list of prescriptions for medications to be printed.
Change the name on the printout if you plan to sign the prescriptions for medications yourself.
Click Cancel if you would like to start over with the printing process.
Click Do Not Update if you do not plan to sign the prescriptions for medications that do not have your name.
Click Update if you plan to sign all of the selected prescriptions for medications yourself.
The change is included in the detail (zoom view) of the order.
