[Revised Mar 15]
'Own repeat' is for when the original was dispensed in the pharmacy.
'New script' is used for both new originals, and 'Outside repeats' i.e. repeats that are 'new' to this pharmacy.
Either enter the patients name, OR the prescription number.
Then choose by type of repeat...
'Previously Deferred'.
While not actually a repeat, functionally this is the same as a repeat so it is included here.
'Own repeat'
For repeats where the original or previous repeat was dispensed in this pharmacy.
'Outside repeat'
For repeats where the details are not yet known to this pharmacy.
'RxOne' will ask for the information regarding the original pharmacy.
Note - Entering 5/3 in the repeat box will turn a script into an Outside Repeat with 5 repeats authorised and 2 repeats left. Click the information icon next to the repeat box for more examples.
Own repeats;
'RxOne' will display items for which there are still repeats available.
Selecting items for repeat
Choose the items by number (or by clicking with the mouse if you prefer).
Press the <down arrow> key to scroll back further and select earlier items.
Full/partial history display?
For an Original Script you will always see the full history whereas when dispensing a repeat you can choose whether to see only the items for which repeats remain and have not expired, or all items. If set to display remaining repeats only, it may appear that script history is missing, so turn it on if you prefer to see all history every time.
To switch on/off partial/full history during repeats
View on the menu bar, highlight 'Show full history on repeats' and press enter to tick/untick it.
Repeating items selected
When finished selecting items, select the Finish button. For convenience there are several ways of doing this;
- press F key.
- <alt> + <N> keys, OR
- click this button with the mouse
- <tab> to highlight it and press <enter>
The first of the selected items will be displayed and the 'Finish' button highlighted. Normally just press <enter> to accept the repeat, but if necessary amend any field if necessary then 'Finish'.
Quick repeats
If you do not wish to view the repeats, press <enter> repeatedly. E.g. select three items, press Finish, then <enter> <enter> <enter> and they will flash through without waiting.
Finish with More if you wish to also dispense Original items for the same patient.
