IN: Manually Enter a Script

This video contains audio. Headphones are recommended.

If a customer presents a prescription that does not have an electronic barcode for scanning—for example a handwritten script from a specialist—you can manually enter the script into MedView Flow.

When you manually enter a script, you record information about the patient, how many items they want dispensed, as well as their preferences for generics and collection time. You do not record any information about the medications listed on the script.

Select In from the menu to display the MedView Flow input screen, if it is not already displayed.
Select Manual entry form.

Fill in the Manual Entry form.
