Rcopia - "Prescription" vs. "Medication"
The DrFirst e-prescribing product, Rcopia, meets Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) e-prescribing requirements. The MaximEyes® SQL feature, E-Prescribe, provides a link between MaximEyes SQL and Rcopia.
Rcopia maintains both a Medication List and a Prescription List:
- A Medication usually contain values in all the fields that a Prescription does, but it may not have all the values, depending on how Medications in the Medication list are entered in Rcopia.
- It is possible to manually enter a Medication in the Medication List in Rcopia. This is considered the Medication History of the patient in Rcopia.
Note: Medications that are entered in the Medication List in Rcopia do not get sent to a pharmacy for a patient to pick up.
- It is also possible to enter a Medication in the Medication List in Rcopia by searching the PBM database, which allows an Rcopia user to see other Medications that other providers in other practices have prescribed for the current patient. When the user finds such a Medication, he/she has the option of adding that Medication in his/her practice's Medication List for the current patient.
- When a user adds a prescription on Rcopia and then signs and sends that prescription to a pharmacy, that prescription is automatically copied to that patient's Medication List in Rcopia. That prescription is also considered to be on that patient's Prescription List, as well.
- If a user adds a prescription on Rcopia, but doesn't sign and send that prescription to a pharmacy, the prescription does not get copied to the patient's Medication List, and it just remains as a Pending prescription on the patient's Prescription List.
