How to Set Up Digital Prescriptions in Your Patient Management Software

Getting Started with Digital Prescriptions

Creating digital prescriptions can significantly enhance your clinic's efficiency and patient care. Patient Management Software (PMS) allows you to maintain a clear, organised record of medicines and instructions for each patient. This guide outlines the steps to set up and utilise the digital prescription feature within your PMS.

1. Register or Claim Your Doctor Profile: Before accessing the PMS, ensure your doctor profile is registered or claimed on the platform. This step links your secure workspace to your professional identity.
2. Verify Your Account: Complete the necessary verification steps, often involving a registered email or WhatsApp contact, to secure your access to the PMS.
3. Access Your Clinic Workspace: Once verified, log in to your dedicated clinic workspace. This is where you will manage all patient-related activities.
4. Customise Your Clinical Masters: To speed up prescription writing, you can add and manage your own frequently used diagnoses, tests, and medicines. This creates a personalised library tailored to your specialty and practice.
   • Add Diagnoses: Incorporate common diagnoses relevant to your practice. The system may offer specialty-based suggestions to help you start.
   • Input Medicines: Add generic and brand names, strengths, dosage forms, and common instructions for medicines you prescribe regularly.
   • List Investigations/Tests: Include the investigations and tests you commonly advise for patients.
5. Create a Digital Prescription During Consultation: During a patient consultation, navigate to the prescription section within the PMS.
   • Select Medicines: Choose medicines from your customised master list or add new ones as needed.
   • Enter Instructions: Specify dose, frequency, duration, food timing, quantity, and any other patient-specific instructions. These details are editable for each patient.
   • Review and Finalise: Before saving or printing, review the prescription for accuracy and clarity.
6. Save or Print the Prescription: Once finalised, you can save the digital prescription to the patient's record or print a copy for the patient.
