Scanning Prescriptions
We have introduced a scanning function to the Prescriptions screen to allow you to quickly and easily locate prescriptions to dispense. Prescriptions can be scanned with a barcode scanner or if no scanner is available you can manually enter the prescription Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).

If scanning the barcode of a prescription is not an option, for example, if no scanner is available, you can manually enter the barcode.
To manually enter a barcode:
-
From the Pharmacy Manager Toolbar select Quick Actions - Enter A Barcode:
-
The Manual Barcode Entry screen displays. Enter the barcode number from the prescription and select OK
