Prescription Reports
In this tutorial, you will learn how to produce reports and visualize different ways of seeing all of your prescriptions for the day so you know who needs to get their prescriptions.
Printing Individual Patient Prescriptions
Printing a patient’s individual prescription(s) is useful if you want to attach it to their enclosure or if you are sending the animal to homecare and you want to give the homecare care-giver a prescription tag that goes along with the medications.
Step 1
Open the Patient Record of the animal whose Prescription you want to print.
Step 2
Click on the Prescriptions tab.
Step 3
Check the box for the prescription(s) you want to print.
Step 4
Click on the Printer icon.
Step 5
A PDF of the prescription label is downloaded onto your computer for printing.
Each medication/drug will be its own A5-sized paper. The details of the prescription and the dates have been automatically filled in for the duration of the prescription. Some blank boxes are available for the caregiver to write their initials or make a checkbox of when each individual dose is given.
