CMS (Serial Prescribing) Overdue Dispensing Alert

The overdue dispensing alert notifies you when dispensing information has not been received since the last dispensing event (or date printed if first issue) plus the duration entered in the alert criteria. This does not have to be set for every patient but might be useful for monitoring specific patients.

In the example above, the last issue date was 06.01.09, and the alert appears if no dispensing update is received by 06.02.09.

If you re-authorise a standard repeat that has an alert attached and make it into a CMS (Serial Prescribing) repeat, the overdue date is calculated from the date dispensed on the new CMS (Serial Prescribing) item.
