Medication Profile/ Refills Continued in detail

a) View a patient’s/resident’s orders: each order should contain all pertinent information form the main “Medication Profile” screen. However, for a more detailed description press the “View/Print Prescription Info” button at the bottom right of each order to review the information thoroughly. This information will be a direct reflection of the information we have entered into our database for the order faxed over to us by the facility/ doctor. If there were ever any discrepancy please call us at (937) 610-3051 to discuss.

b) Check any potential drug interactions: to check a potential drug interaction, select the drug from the patient’s profile that you are curious of another drugs interaction with. This example we will use warfarin 2mg on our test resident. At the bottom left of the drug order you will see “check interactions” press that button.

Next you will see a new screen prompting you to enter an “interacting drug name”. Either brand or generic name will work. You will then have to select a strength from the drop down menu. After selecting the strength you will be able to see if there is any potential interaction or “no interactions found” in the same screen you selected the “interacting drug name”

c) Send a note to the pharmacy: to send a general note (not specific to a certain order) to the pharmacy in regards to your patient/ resident.

First press the large “send note to pharmacy” at the top right of the “Medication Profile/ Refills” screen

Then in the fields provided, please fill out your subject, return phone number, and message. A notification will be triggered in QS1 and staff at the pharmacy will take the needed action, and call back with any needed updates or information (if needed)

To send a specific note in regards to a order (such as D/C, change, or hold order) first locate the order on the “Medication Profile” that is in need of notation. (We will again use Warfarin 2mg as an example) Then select “Send Note to Pharmacy” located at the bottom of the specific order.

Then in the fields provided, please fill out your subject, return phone number, and message. A notification will be triggered in QS1 and staff at the pharmacy will take the needed action, and call back with any needed updates or information (if needed)

d) View / print drug monograph information: to view or print a drug monograph, find the order with the drug in question and select the “View monograph information” button at the bottom of the order. From there you can print or save any needed information.

e) View/ print a single patient’s/ resident’s MAR (M090) and PO (A061) reports: To view or print a specific patient/ resident’s  MAR and PO reports, first select the “Patient Reports” button on the “Medication Profile/ refills” screen.

This will take you to the “Patient Reports” screen

From here, to View or Print a MAR for your specific patient/resident, select the drag down menu under the “MAR, PO and Psychotropic Forms” and select the form “M090”- 30 day MAR. ***Please neglect the selection of the M075- 30 day MAR as it’s a default and cannot be removed. Then select the beginning date from the pull down menu and press “Request Report”

Once the report has been successfully completed, it will be available to print from the reports screen

Once the report has been successfully completed, it will be available to print from the reports screen

Press “View Report” when ready to view or print the report. The PO will open in a new tab.

f) Refill an order ***NOTE*** any order on the profile that is indicated with FILL LIST ITEM has been indicated as such to suggest that it is on “cycle fill” or “auto refill”. You should not ever have to manually refill an order indicated in this way. Please call us at (937) 610-3051 if you have any questions or concerns.

****NOTE***** to execute refills most effectively, I would recommend not requisition refills from the “Patient Profile/ Refills” section as it is a lengthy process compared to the process described in our other Work Aide titled “How to Request Refills” Please refer to that document for any additional questions on refills.

To request a refill from the “Patient Profile/ Refills”  screen, first find the order(s) in need of refill and then check the “Refill” box at the upper right corner of the order window

If you would like to print a list of refills requested, it is very important to select the “print refills list” button before pressing the “submit refills” button. Once submitted, you will be unable to print a review sheet for any refills already requested.

THEN

Once “Submit refills” is selected you will have to confirm the request. Once confirmed, the request will be sent through to the pharmacy to be refilled

How to Request Refills

To request refills in Web connect, begin by pulling stickers as you may normally do. Once your refill sheet is full of any needed refills for your shift, log on to Web Connect.

From the main screen you will select the option “Refill prescriptions by RX #”

From this screen you may either

a)If you have a scanner attached to your computer: scan each barcode slowly with your scanner. As the scanner picks up the RX# from the barcode it will add the RX# into the “Rx Number” field

OR

b) Manually enter in each RX number into the “Rx Number” field

Then press “add Rx” to add it to your refill list

***NOTE*** any order on the profile that is indicated with FILL LIST ITEM has been indicated as such to suggest that it is on “cycle fill” or “auto refill”. You should not ever have to manually refill an order indicated in this way. Please call us at (937) 610-3051 if you have any questions or concerns.

Once all of your refills have been scanned or typed into the “RX number” field, you will have the opportunity to “Print Summary” of the requested refills. ***NOTE**** Once submitted, you can no longer go back and print the summary after. Best practice if using this system is to print the summary and staple it to your sheet you have the pulled stickers on. The “Print Summary” will act like a fax confirmation page.

When ready, press the “Submit” button to send the refills to the staff at the pharmacy.

The Staff at the pharmacy will receive the notation and begin the refill process.

*****Note***** In this example we used just one patient. This system will function with multiple patients/ residents with multiple orders.

Please also feel free to maintain Faxing refill request sheets to (937) 610-3048

Call us at (937) 610-3051 with any questions or concerns.
