When prescribing, it’s important to ensure a pharmacy is set for the patient. If no default pharmacy is selected, you’ll see a banner at the top of the patient’s chart that says: “Please set the default pharmacy.”
You can add a pharmacy by selecting the banner at the top of the chart or from the Patient Information section in the middle of the screen.
