This guide helps you quickly review a patient’s full prescription history so you can make informed decisions and keep your workflow moving. You’ll learn how to locate a patient’s profile, view active and past prescriptions, and open detailed information— including prescription specifics, client communication, and pharmacy updates.
Accessing the Patient Profile
To start, you’ll open the patient’s profile where all prescription history is stored.
Steps
- Go to Client List.
- Search for the client or patient.
- Select the patient you want to review.
Viewing Patient Prescription History
Within the patient profile, you’ll see a complete record of prescriptions written or recommended through the platform.
What You’ll See
- A list of active and recommended prescriptions
- Prescription status and expiration dates
- A toggle to reveal inactive or expired prescriptions
Show All History
Use the Show Inactive toggle to display every prescription associated with that patient—past or present.
Active prescriptions have been purchased.
Recommended prescriptions are outstanding and have not been purchased yet.
