Printing Therapy

To print therapy items, select them in the usual way, today's acutes are included by default, then press F9 or click Print . The Prescription Manager screen is now displayed:

There are a number of tabs:

• Active Simple tab- smilar to the old Print Therapy screen listing items for print.
• Active tab (Full) - divides the medication into prescription pages, as per their type.
• Recent - lists recently printed medication (but only those printed since Prescription Manager was switched on). Can be used to reprint prescriptions.
• Rejected - only relevant for rejected electronic messages of ETP.
• Search - Displays printed items for Reprint (but only those printed since Prescription Manager was switched on).
• All tab- lists all prescriptions (but only those printed since Prescription Manager was switched on) and can be used to reprint prescriptions.

Once at the Prescription Manager screen, press Print or F9 to print the prescription. The Drug Labels and Bag Labels options are unchanged.

Also unchanged is Print Reorder Form, Print Age. However, with the mixture of nurse and GP prescribing.

Note - Authorised Signatory was previously called Doctor to sign prescription. Now, every time a clinician is selected in the Authorised Signatory field in the Simple and Active tabs on Prescription Manager, the script type is updated to suit the clinician's status. So if someone who is set up for ETP is selected, any items that can be dual (England only, and meaning ETP eligible) will be switched to dual. If the person cannot do ETP, all items are set to paper. When a different clinician is selected, the item selections will not change, even if the new person is able to sign more items. This is because the user may have already selected all the items they want to print and they will not want to have to redo that.

Note - One of the main changes with Advanced Printing is that reprinting prescriptions has changed. The Reprint icon on the front Therapy toolbar has been replaced by Show Prescription which you use with the Scripts tab displayed (see Show Prescription / Search Tab). You can also reprint from the Recent tab in Prescription Manager (see Recent tab - used for reprinting).
