Recording medication supply
If you provide medication to a patient or their carer from your stock, record a supply record for the medication.
Tip: If your health service uses medication requests,
you can also supply patient-specific inventory supplied by an external pharmacy to a
patient. For more information, see Supply Medication Requests.
If you want to print labels for the supplied medication, you must first configure the
system and the provider profile:
- Select tab, and in Medication Labels:
- Set Enable label printing
