Label prompts for targeted MURs  


 

When a script is issued from the dispensary tab, a check will be made to see if the patient is eligible for a targeted MUR.

Screen prompts

Subject to your configuration, a prompt will be shown giving the reason for the potential MUR, its target category, and the medication(s) involved.

 

 

Start MUR

Click the Start MUR button. Alternatively, press & to select this option.

 

If you choose to start the MUR immediately, the patient's personal details auto-populate the MUR wizard.

 

Patient declined

The patient may decline to have an MUR. If so, click the Patient declined button. Alternatively, press & to select this option.

 

This will be marked in the patient's record. This will prevent the prompt from being shown again for this patient until you choose to re-enable them from the Patient Details tab.

 

At any time, you can also use this step to remove the targeted MUR restriction against any patient to whom it has been applied.

 

Defer

The system can generate a label reminder to the bag if the patient is not present when you dispense the medication.

Click the Defer button. Alternatively, press & to select this option.

A label is printed.

 

Patient details

You may want to view the patient's medication history before talking to the patient about MUR candidacy.

Click the Patient details button. Alternatively, press & to select this option.

 

 

Any tMUR response is recorded in the patient's history with the outcome: MUR started, patient declined, or MUR deferred.

You can view these events in the patient history. This will allow the user to re-display the prompt, or reprint the label.

 

If a patient has received prescriptions for medications associated with more than one target group the prompt text will only include the most recent dispense date of either associated medication.

Labels

If so, and subject to your configuration, a prompt label will be printed giving the reason for the potential MUR, its target category, and the medication(s) involved. This is ideal if the patient is not present to collect their medication.

 

 

A label will be printed for each targeted MUR reason where there are two or more targeted MUR reasons. If a patient has multiple targeted MUR reasons of the same type, then only the most recent indicator shall be printed.

 

When any dispensing label is reprinted from the patient history, any MUR prompt labels will not be reprinted.
