Workflow for Nurses and Prescriptions

If an organization wants to allow their nurses to send prescriptions (renewals only) they would set:

• Preference -> Medication -> Non-Scheduled Meds Order Authorization Request = Not Required

• Preference -> Medications/Orders -> Enable Rx-Order Verification = No for the Users

• Security Code to Nurse Security Classification = Can Renew

• • If a nurse is allowed to send renewals and that includes Sched II drugs they would also need the security code: Med Order Protocol

If they wanted their nurses/staff to start New Rx’s that would send a task to the provider to authorize they would set:

• Preference – Medication -> Non-Scheduled Meds Order Authorization Request = No Required

• Preference -> Medications/Orders -> Enable Rx-Order Verification = Yes

• Security Code to Nurse Security Classification = Can Prescribe

But an organization could not have both workflows
