Prescriptions

Create prescriptions as a doctor and dispense them directly into a sale from the pharmacy side.

1 min read

The Prescriptions page connects the doctor’s prescribing workflow with the pharmacy’s dispensing workflow. A doctor creates a prescription. It then appears on the pharmacy side under Clinic → Prescriptions. The pharmacist clicks Dispense and is taken straight to the Add Sale page with the prescribed medicines already loaded.
