Manually Record a Current Medication

Record a Current Medication

To record a medication without prescribing it, follow these steps. Any medication added as a current medication will be checked for drug interactions against the patient's medication list until any recorded expiration dates.

1. Login to ScriptSure: Visit https://app.scriptsure.com/.
2. Search for and select the patient.
3. Click "PRESCRIBE NEW DRUG".

   
   
   

   
   
   
4. Search for and select the medication:
   Option a. Enter the medication name in the “Search” field.
           Note: You can also filter down the list by using the "FILTER" option.
   
               OR

•        Option b. Choose one of the Medication Types in the toolbar, or click the icon to browse by type.
  
  
• 

        5. Click "Set Current Medication"

        6. Choose an option:
 
                a. With drug name only: If you do not know the strength, you can select this option to record the drug name.

                b. With detail: Choose this option if you know the strength and would like to record it along with the drug name.                      Click the dropdown arrow to view more strengths.

        7. Complete the following fields as needed and click "Save".

                    a. Expiration: Check the box for "Chronic" if the patient will be on the medication ongoing, or select an expiration

                     date if the medication will be ending. (The drug-to-drug interaction checker will no longer check this drug after                         the expiration date. If you would like this medication to always be checked for interactions against the patient's                        list, you can select "Chronic".)

                    b. Detail (Optional): Here, you can record who prescribed the medication as well as other comments.

        8. Now, the medication will be listed on the patient's list with "No Pharmacy - Save Only" notated under "Pharmacy".

Prescribe the Saved Medication

1. If you want to prescribe the medication later on, you can use this record as a starting point. You can select "Prescribe", and then the system will prompt you through adding the needed information.

2. When the following box pops up, select "CONTINUE".

3. Dosage: If you have not already selected a dosage, it will ask for that first. Select the correct strength.

4. Format: Then select a format. (You will still be able to edit this in the next step.)

5. Finish the script like normal. (See Prescribe Medications for more details.)
