We strive to keep user base informed about all improvements to PrognoCIS EHR software. The latest enhancements to PrognoCIS save administrative time and help to prevent manual errors in selecting prescription drugs, simplify the importation of patient insurance information, and have created a new group and user types to make group and user data easier to find.
One-Click Access to Quick Comprehensive Drug Search
Quickly and easily find the Equivalent Active Rx for active and inactive drugs with one simple click on the Comprehensive Drug Search icon within the Drug Search pop-up on the Prescription screen. In addition to the comprehensive list of drugs to search, the user can also narrow the search by applying filters for Description, Alternates, Abbreviations and acronyms, Obsolete Brands, Medication Description, Generic for Brand, Brand for Generic, and Alternate brand.
Search by entering the drug name (at least three letters) into the search field. Once you find the drug you’re searching for, check the box in the Select column, and the drug is added to the Prescription screen.
Prescription and Current Medication Screen Improvements
Inactivated Drugs in Search List Update:
Drugs that have been inactivated within the last three years will still be listed.
Drugs that have been inactive for more than three years do not appear.
Restriction of sending inactive drugs error messaging :
To prevent manual errors and save time, the sending of inactive drugs through eRx is restricted. If you accidentally try to save an inactive drug on the Prescriptions screen, you will find these messages. These messages are customizable.
