Repeats Reorder Form
The reorder form is printed on the right-hand side of computerised prescription for repeat issues.
It lists all the patient's active therapy items (valid and expired) and can be handed to the patient with the prescription. A month later or before the therapy runs out, the reorder form is returned by the patient with the required items ticked.
The drugs are printed on the repeat reorder form are in event date order. If a repeat is reauthorised, then the event date is updated, and its position on the list will change. This is why drugs do not always appear listed in the same order.
It need not be printed; when printing a repeat prescription, the option Print reorder form is usually checked on the Print Therapy screen. You can deselect this and switch off the reorder form printing for individual prescriptions.
In Consultation Options Set-Up - General, you can also switch on or off the option permanently (though you still can change it at the time of printing) (see Print Reorder Form setup under Print Reorder Form-):
The default is Issues Only, meaning the re-order form will be printed when the repeat is issued.
Always Off - the re-order form will never be printed.,
Always On - the re-order form is always printed.
