Reprinting Restrictions

When reprinting an ePharmacy AMS or CMS (Serial Prescribing) prescription, you cannot reprint the prescription if the selected prescriber in Prescription Manager differs from the original signer of the prescription or is no longer valid in Vision. Where this happens, the following displays:

"The selected signatory does not match that of the original prescription(s). Please select the original signing clinician in the list of signatory and reprint the prescription(s).

You should change the authoriser in Prescription Manager and continue to reprint.

Where the original prescriber is no longer available/valid, you are now asked to manually cancel the prescription and re-prescribe:

"The selected signatory does not match that of the original prescription(s). The original signing clinician is no longer a valid signatory. If you need to reprint the prescription(s), you are advised to:

1. Cancel the original prescription(s) - AMS/CMS only.

2.Re-prescribe all necessary items.

3.Contact the patient and/or dispenser(s).

1. Cancel the original prescription(s) - AMS/CMS only.

2.Re-prescribe all necessary items.
