Automatic Capture of Rx Number from Barcode in Prescription Pad

 

 

What’s Newnew_symbol-1

  • Rx Number is automatically captured when scanning supported barcodes in the Prescription pad.
  • The Rx Number is displayed within the Prescription component of the Provider Note.
  • No manual input is required when the barcode includes the Rx Number.
  • If the barcode does not contain an Rx Number, no value is displayed and no prompt appears.

How It Works 

  • Open the Prescription pad from either:

    • Patient > Clinical > Provider Note

    • Patient > Medications (medication listing)

  • Scan a barcode from a FlexScan-generated MedKit or pharmacy label.

  • If the barcode contains embedded Rx Number data:

    • Medication details are automatically populated.

    • The Rx Number is displayed within the Prescription component.

  • If the barcode does not contain an Rx Number:

    • Medication details are populated as available.

    • No Rx Number is displayed.

    • The system does not prompt for manual entry.

Benefits

  • Eliminates manual entry of Rx Numbers during prescription documentation.
  • Reduces data entry errors by capturing values directly from barcode data.
  • Improves workflow efficiency during prescription entry.
  • Ensures consistent display of Rx Numbers when available from supported barcode sources.
