Workflow Change to Electronic Prescriptions (eRx) Effective 10/29/19
There is a workflow change coming to ePrescriptions on 10/29/2019. In an effort to comply with industry standards, Change Healthcare will be updating the Clinician app to capture additional patient data. These three items that will impact prescribers directly during the electronic prescribing process:
- A patient address is REQUIRED on ALL prescriptions
- Height and Weight are now REQUIRED to be sent on any pediatric patient (18 years or younger)
- Effective Date added to the renewal request screen
There is no action required on the prescriber's end to implement these new requirements, as this is all being handled by Change Healthcare with the update to their Clinician app. Beginning on 10/29/19, prescribers will see these additional prompts
