IMPORTANT:

 

Rx Expiry Date:  allows users to expire/cancel the use of a specific prescription.  By entering an expiry date prior to the creation date will cause the Prescription not be accessible.  By placing a date in the future will expire the prescription on the date chosen.

 

 

By default, Filopto presents the most recent prescription. Each prescription is dated and the issuing Doctor is identified. You may enter prescriptions by choosing the Add a Soft Contact lens Rx  button; you may also select the view/edit button to modify a prescription. .

 

Note:

On the Soft and Hard Contact Lenses prescriptions, you may select the Brand Name from the Inventory by clicking on the three dots button at the end of the field. The inventory will open for the selected item type and you will be able to select the desired contact lens by clicking on the OK button.

 

 

 

The prescriptions entered into Filopto are all linked together; therefore, you can enter a prescription at several places in the system (exam, dispensing or patient file) and they are all stored in the patient file based on the prescription number and date the prescription was issued.

 

The Filopto administrator can define prescription fields that are required to be entered before a prescription is saved.  If any fields have been defined as mandatory they are colored in Yellow (see System settings  EMR-Required Fields).

 

Users can print the displayed prescription by using the Print Rx button.
