In NextGen® Enterprise EHR you can electronically prescribe and submit prescriptions directly to selected pharmacies. You can also check a patient's eligibility, electronically communicate with a pharmacy, submit patient's prescriptions, and authorize or decline refill requests. In the Medications module, you can prescribe, print, fax, and e-prescribe patient medications. The Medication module also enables you to educate patients on medications prescribed to them, and check whether the prescribed medication has adverse interactions with other prescribed medications, existing allergies, or known diagnoses. In the Medication Allergies module, you can enter and retrieve any currently known adverse reaction to substances that may put the patient at risk if the patient is exposed to similar substances in the future. The Medication Allergies module helps you to identify the potential for adverse drug reactions. ePrescribing Medications ePrescribing Setup Supported ePrescribing Features Medic
