Overview: Setting the action for a prescription to none, to create an active medication entry in the patient's medication list without transmitting or printing a prescription.
Location: Pharmacy Action window under Medications in Orders (AOM).
Button: Click on the Action field in the Pharmacy Action window to set the action for the prescription to None. When entering in medications, the choices for the Action field in the pharmacy action window are Call-in, Fax, Transmit, Print, or None.
The action of None is used to file the medication into the chart as an active medication but not transmitted to the pharmacy. This will facilite eRx Renewal requests from the pharmacy in the future. If an eRx Renewal request matches an active medication, this will create an eRx Renewal task on the Task List (i.e. linked medication). If the eRx Renewal request matches a reported medication, this will create an eRx Unlinked Med task which will have to be manually processed by first creating an active medication in the patient's EMR to which the refill request can then be linked.
