Hi all,
We are working to ensure that our prescribing process is safe within our clinics. We have some providers that type prescriptions into result notes for our RNs, LPNs and MAs to transcribe and send to the pharmacy. We also have providers that give med orders verbally to clinic staff. I am wondering if anyone has a robust policy on order placement within their clinics, specifically for medications (but any order entry policy would be helpful). Right now we don't have anything in writing so we are starting from scratch. Any resources that you could recommend would be helpful as well - thank you!
