Pending Prescription Alerts

The steps below detail how a practice/organization can setup text and email alerts to inform of pending prescriptions in a Provider’s Queue that need attention. A provider is anyone with a DEA/NPI number and authorized to send prescriptions in ScriptSure.

Administrators

Only administrators for an account can turn on SMS text and email alerts functionality for pending prescriptions for a practice; this is a Global Setting.  After Enabling Alerts, Provider’s can receive alerts if their profile is setup correctly with an email and cell phone number.  

An administrator can login, go the Settings>Practice Settings>Pending Prescription Alerts to enable and set the appropriate options for prescribing users.  

SETTINGS AND HOW TO ENABLE ALERTS FOR AN ACCOUNT

 1. In order for Providers to receive pending prescription alerts ensure the following is completed.

2. When the Settings Window opens, click Pending Prescription Alerts under the Practice Settings:

3. The administrator must first Enable the alert functionality.  This is enabled when the slider is slid to the right and orange: 



4. In the Screenshot below, set the other options for allowing users to receive SMS text messages and/or allowing for Email Messages. When alerts are turned on at the practice level it means each Provider will have the option of receiving an SMS text and/or email alert.  Note:  Providers can under their own settings turn these on or off for themselves.

Example: If only SMS text messages are turned on by the administrator, then the Providers will ONLY be able to receive SMS text alerts.

5. View and select or edit the appropriate options as desired:

  • Alert Sending Enabled: This allows for an administrator to activate the sending of alerts for the practice/organization.
  • Allow SMS Text Messages: Enabling this setting (slide right to enable) allows for the application to send a SMS text alert to a provider’s SMS text capable cell phone added to their user profile.  Standard text message rates apply from the Providers cell phone provider.
  • Allow Email Messages: Enabling this setting (slide right to enable) allows for the application to send an email alerts to the provider login email address in the user profile.
  • Default message: this is the message that users will receive to their email or text to inform them that a prescription is pending their approval.  It is recommended to use the default message presented, but you can modify and enter up to 150 characters.
  • Alert Interval:  This refers to the amount of time for a follow-up message to be sent to a prescriber.   Users can set from an interval of 30 minutes to 240 minutes.  For example, if the setting interval is set to 30 minutes, and a pending prescription lands in a provider’s queue at 1:00pm, the provider will receive a SMS text at 1pm and another at 1:30pm, 2:00pm (every 30 minutes until the prescription is addressed and removed from the Providers queue).
  • Do Not Disturb: Allows an administrator to set a global do not disturb Start and End time period for all Providers.  During the do not disturb period, Providers will not receive SMS text or email messages regarding the pending prescription alerts.


6. Click Save and the Close in the bottom left to store the changes:
