The prescription life cycle starts with booking in.
Booking in refers to inputting the prescription's information into a dedicated booking in screen in PTS. Doing so creates a record of the prescription in the PTS database, which will make it appear in any relevant user views ready to be progressed and tracked through the prescription lifecycle in accordance with the prescription type setup.
More often than not, booking in a prescription will simultaneously produce a barcode label for the prescription so that it can be progressed with a barcode scanner. For certain prescription types (e.g. TTO) a ticket may also be produced to hand to the patient for them to monitor the prescription on an outpatient display screen.
