A prescription, often abbreviated ℞ or Rx, is a health care program implemented by a physician or other qualified health care practitioner in the form of instructions that govern the plan of care for an individual patient. The purpose of a prescription is for a Doctor to prescribe an order for the preparation and administration of a drug or device for a patient. 

How to access and do a Prescription:

• In the Signata field enter the Prescription Code eg. TDS or click on the F4 button to search a signata.

• The Prescription Codes (Signatas) screen will open. There is a big variety of signatas loaded, you can search a signata in the 'Description' field or scroll through the list and select the applicable one. 
• Press on OK (Enter/F2) or Double click on the item to add the signata to the medicine.

• When done with the signata, click on OK to add the medicine item on the prescription. 
• The medicine will now be added on the prescription as seen below. The Signata will also display.

• To add additional medicine items on the prescription, click on Prescribe again or tab through to add a new line. 
• Repeat the process as explained above. Start by searching the medicine in the Tariff Code field and complete the process.
