Modifying the Number of Days for a New Rx Follow-Up

To set follow-ups for new prescriptions in the Therapeutic Class list, do the following:

  1. Select More > List Maint.
  2. Select Therapeutic Class List from the dropdown list at the top of the window.
  3. Highlight a therapeutic class.
  4. In the New Rx Follow-Up field, enter the number of days after a prescription is filled that will be used to schedule the automatic prescription follow-up. Leave the field set to 0 if you do not want to schedule automatic follow-ups for this therapeutic class.

Note: For example, the Therapeutic Class CNS STIMULANTS has New Rx Follow-Up days set to 7. A prescription is filled for Nicoderm patches, which is part of the Therapeutic Class CNS STIMULANTS. The Fill Date for the prescription is January 2, 2004. Since the New Rx Follow-Up is 7 days, the Prescription Followup is automatically scheduled in Activities for January 9, 2004.

  1. Select the OK button.
