Order scripts with MedView Patient Connect
MedView Patient Connect (MPC) enables patients to forward their ePrescription tokens directly into the MedView Flow Queue of a pharmacy of their choice.
MPC is intended to assist patients isolated by COVID-19 restrictions. It supports contact-less pick-up and delivery for new and repeat ePrescriptions.
When visiting their prescriber, patients can request electronic scripts (instead of paper scripts). They can also specify if they want these scripts sent as Email or as SMS. Patients can then remotely order their medications from their pharmacy directly from their ePrescription token.
