Setting Up ePrescribing for Users

This topic describes how

  1. Log in to Eyefinity EHR as an administrator.
  2. In the Practice Accounts section, click a user’s name to edit an existing user, or click Create New Account to create a new user.
  3. Enter or update the user’s demographic information as needed. Go to Editing User Demographics.
  4. Click the ePrescribe tab.
  5. Click Request New SPI.
  6. To enable the user to create new medication prescriptions within Eyefinity EHR, select the Has New Rx Service Level check box.
  7. To enable the user to receive refill requests from pharmacies within Eyefinity EHR, select the Has Rx Refill Service Level check box.
  8. To populate the Prescriber Detail fields with the user information that you already entered, select the Fill with Account Data check box.
  9. To populate the Location fields with the location address, select the user’s location from the Location drop-down menu.
  10. Enter the user’s email address in the Email text box as needed.
  11. Click Register with Surescripts.

    The user’s ePrescribing registration is sent. The user can begin ePrescribing immediately.

    If the provider is registered with another ePrescribing vendor, like DrFirst, you may receive an error indicating the SPI number is already used. This error occurs because a provider can be registered with only one vendor for refills. To transfer the provider’s ePrescribing record to Eyefinity EHR, see the following procedure.

    If the provider requires access to prescribe controlled substances, go to Setting Up Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances.

A provider can be registered with only one ePrescribing vendor for refills. If the provider is registered with another ePrescribing vendor, like DrFirst, follow the steps in this section.

  1. Enable ePrescribing for the user as described in the previous procedure.
  2. Deselect the Has Rx Refill Service Level check box.
  3. Click Register with Surescripts.

    The user can begin ePrescribing, but will not be able to receive refill requests yet.

  4. Send an email to eprescribing@eyefinity.com to request an update the provider record. Include the following information in the email:
    • Practice name
    • Street address
    • City
    • State
    • ZIP
    • Provider name
    • NPI
    • DEA

    Eyefinity will notify Surescripts of the change. The provider will begin receiving refill requests in 7–14 days.
