Workflow for Nurses and Prescriptions

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

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

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

• Add 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 = Not Required

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

• Add Security Code to Nurse Security Classification = Can Prescribe

An organization can not have both workflows.
