PTS provides a simple and unobtrusive method for recording responsible pharmacist and displaying this information to patients, wards and in a dedicated RP timeline report.
Prerequisites
To become responsible pharmacist
There are a few rules that a user must conform to to become a responsible pharmacist.
- Their professional registration number must be added to their user profile.
- Their SETRESPONSIBLE permission should be set appropriately.
While not strictly necessary if using barcode scanners, it makes sense that the user would also be able to see the responsible pharmacist notice (as below) as this is another way to become the RP.
To see the responsible pharmacist notice
The SHOWRESPONSIBLE permission should be set to Yes for the user so they can see and optionally interact with the responsible pharmacist notice on-screen. This setting also controls whether the outpatient/collection status screen displays the notice - make sure the user account that powers the screen has this permission set.
Setting a responsible pharmacist
On-screen
The simplest way to become or to assign a responsible pharmacist is via the responsible pharmacist notice on the home page.
Depending on your SETRESPONSIBLE permissions, you'll be shown buttons to record yourself or another user as the responsible pharmacist.
If the responsible pharmacist panel is totally missing from the home page, ensure that your SHOWRESPONSIBLE permission is set to Yes. If this is the very first time in the life of your PTS 5 installation that a responsible pharmacist is being recorded, you may have to use the barcode scanner option, even if just for one time.
Barcode scanner
The responsible pharmacist barcodes are printed from the Dispensaries setup page.
Simply scan your user code, followed by the responsible pharmacist barcode to become the responsible pharmacist for the specified dispensary.
Stop being responsible pharmacist
There are three ways to stop being the responsible pharmacist:
- When someone else becomes the responsible pharmacist for the dispensary.
- Click the "end responsible pharmacist" button in the responsible pharmacist panel on-screen.
- Record any prescription unrelated activity (e.g. End of Shift).
