Staff: Creating plans and placing orders for patients
Overview
Using the plan building tool, staff members can create or finalize plans on behalf of practitioners in the dispensary. This feature can be especially beneficial for multi-practitioner clinic settings where staff and administrators are responsible for wrapping up appointments with patients.
During this wrap-up time, staff can facilitate a sign-up to Fullscript by adding patients to the dispensary, or by creating or resuming the creation of plan started during the appointment.
Note:
Clerks and staff cannot create or edit multi-patient plans.
