Progressing a Prescription & Scanning Barcodes

As with most of our products, PTS is built around the concept of scanning barcodes to perform tasks that might otherwise have to be done using a PC, saving a great deal of time whilst also ensuring better data quality.

The vast majority of a typical pharmacist's daily interactions with PTS are progressing prescriptions using barcodes.

The functions available via barcode scanning include:

• Progress a prescription.
• Record an activity that is prescription unrelated.
• Add a note to a prescription. Notes can:
  • Cancel a prescription.
  • Suspend a prescription.
  • Record an error against the prescription.
  • Be a simple note that performs no additional task.
• Put a prescription into a bag.
• Collect or deliver a prescription.
• Update responsible pharmacist
• Change the number of items on the prescription
• Create To-Follows
• Create a prescription
