Invision ePrescription Frequent Q & A
1. How does the nurse know if the medication was printed or submitted electronically? The discharge packet will show if a medication was printed or electronically submitted. If electronically submitted it will display the
pharmacy detail. On the Home Medications nurse’s view under “Display Home Meds,” the icons of either printed or electronically
submitted will display on the left side of the medications. If the space is blank, it means that the physician didn’t issue any prescriptions for the patient. See print screen below.
2. How many pharmacies can be selected as default pharmacy for the patient? Only one retail and one mail order pharmacy may be selected at a time. The process of changing the pharmacy selected is manual and must be done if needed for multiple prescriptions to multiple pharmacies. Physicians also have the access to manually change pharmacies.
3. Does the eligibility benefit for the patient must be completed? Yes, this will benefit the patient during the discharge process to make sure
that the medications selected are covered under their plan and it will display a substitute if needed. If this step is not completed, it will not be a hard stop for the nurse or physician to complete the discharge process.
4. Will social workers have the same view? If currently they have Home Medications on their view, they will now have the new options available.
5. Can the eRX icon for physicians be removed as a mandatory function to electronically send the Existing Medications? No, this function is not a customizable option. It must be done in order to send a prescription electronically.
6. Can Eligibility Benefit be removed? No, this function may not be removed. It is a non-customizable function.
7. Can prescriptions for Narcotics be sent electronically? No, our system does not have the software that enables it at this time.
8. Can Medication History Report be printed? Yes, the option to print will display in the upper right corner as all of the other Net Access documents.
9. At Discharge Medication Reconciliation, are Infectious Disease medications restricted to only ID physicians? No, the system pulls the formulary from the NDDF files and it will not restrict certain medications only to specialties.
10. Can the Nurse reprint prescriptions? No, this function still remains a physician function.
11. How will charity patients prescriptions be handle? The function will remain the same as your current process.
12. What physicians will have access to ePrescription? For implementation, the hospitalist will have the function available. Thereafter, any physician may be enabled as requested. For Physician Support and requests contact: 786-662-7879 or extension 27879.
