Adding or Removing Prescription Filters

You can view only certain prescriptions by entering one or more words as a filter. You might use a filter if you are looking for a specific prescription or a group of prescriptions. For example, you may want to view all prescriptions for a certain patient, or all prescriptions for a certain doctor. When you use a filter, only prescriptions containing the filter are shown. The filter is shown at the bottom of the Prescriptions tab.

Note: If you set a filter from the To Do, Pending, or Completed tabs, the filter applies to all three tabs. If you set a filter from the In Process tab, the filter applies only to the In Process tab.

In the following example, a filter has been used to find a prescription that was placed on hold. The word hold has been entered in the filter criteria. As a result, only prescriptions that contain the word hold will appear on the Completed tab. The filter can be used in combination with the Calendar to locate prescriptions from a certain day, week, or month.

To filter the prescriptions on your Workbench:

1. Select the Filter button, located at the bottom of the screen.
2. Enter your filter criteria. If possible, it is recommended you keep your filter criteria to one word.
3. Select the OK button.
4. If you want to apply the filter for a certain day, week, or month, select the Calendar button and choose the view.

To remove a filter on your Workbench:

1. Select the Filter button, located at the bottom of the screen.
2. Use the Backspace or Delete button on your keyboard to remove the filter criteria.
3. Select the OK button.
