Qualifying Items for eAMS

When an unprinted acute or repeat issue is viewed within Prescription Manager, it displays as an AMS item provided that the following conditions are met:

• AMS is enabled
• The person to sign is a GP. Nurses and Supplementary Prescribers are excluded from AMS.
• The patient has not withdrawn consent to participate in the AMS program.
• The drug is not a prescription which normally prints on the right-hand side
• The item is not PA (personally/practice administered). Note that in Scotland, PA items are not printed. if you tick the P/Admin box on Therapy Add because the item is practice administered, the Print Script checkbox is automatically unchecked. If you want the prescription to be printed, recheck the Print Script box again.
• The item is not Private (right-hand side)
• The source of drug is "In Practice"

Any item that falls within the scope of eAMS is printed with a barcode on the prescription form, with up to 3 items per form.
