Prescriptions from Consultations are listed as per consultation. This means all prescribed medication to a patient during a consultation appear in one record with the patient's name under this column.

The prescription record details are listed, that is:

• the date when the prescription was requested
• the status of the prescription. A prescription can be in 'Pending', 'Paid', 'Progressing' or 'Complete' status.
• the name of the medication prescribed
• the quantity of the medication prescribed
• the total price of the medication.

There are options available to edit or view the records on the right side of each record for 'Pending' prescriptions.

Completed Prescriptions only have a "view" option.

A Dispense option is available for "Paid" and "Progressing" prescriptions.

Dispense Prescriptions

For Prescriptions from Consultations, if more than one prescription is in "Paid" or "Progressing" status, a

Dispense All option is displayed below all the prescription records in a record.

This option automatically dispenses all prescriptions in "Paid" status. "Progressing" prescriptions would require further confirmation via the "Dispense" button in the record. Learn more about dispensing medication
