Providers can create ePrescriptions to send to an outside pharmacy for non-treatment medications by selecting the Medications button located in the Patient Care > Clinical Details section of the chart or by clicking the "+Add RX" button under Clinical Summary. For full details, please reference our ePrescribing overview article.

NOTE: The ePrescribe process has two steps. After the prescription is created, the prescription has to be reviewed, signed, and an action selected for the prescription to be complete. For full details on how to complete the prescription, please reference this article.
