Clinical Check - Automated (Scotland)

A patient's electronic prescription can be automatically clinically checked, pre-confirming any warnings, contraindications and interactions upfront, allowing you to quickly finish the dispense and print the labels.

Once Automated Clinical Check is enabled, if you download a prescription where:

• The patient is partially or fully matched to a local patient,

• The medication on the prescription has been previously manually clinically checked in the time-frame set in Automated Clinical Check Activation,

• The directions, quantity and cautions have not changed since the last manual check,

• There are no new major or minor warnings.

The prescription displays a status of Checked - Auto:

However, if you download a prescription where:

• The patient is unmatched,

• The patient has not had the items on the prescription before,

• There are new major or minor alerts,

• There is a change to the DM+D code of the prescribed item,

• There has been a change in the prescribed directions or prescribed quantity,

• The previous prescription has not been manually clinically checked in the time-frame set in Automated Clinical Check Activation, or

• The prescription contains a controlled drug,

The prescription displays a status of Requires Check and a manual clinical check is required:
