Enabling ePrescribe for staff members

If Dentrix Ascend ePrescribe has been enabled for your organization, you can enable ePrescribe for each staff member, such as a dental assistant or hygienist, who should have access. A staff member can enter electronic prescriptions for non-controlled substances on behalf of a provider (who must then approve and submit the prescription).

Notes:

• A provider may be allowed to enter his or her own electronic prescriptions for non-controlled substances and controlled substances (if EPCS is enabled), or the provider may only be allowed to enter electronic prescriptions for non-controlled substances on behalf of another provider (who must then approve and submit the prescription).

• Users who are permitted to view non-electronic prescriptions can also view electronic prescriptions that have been entered using ePrescribe.
