Is there a way to prevent a user from signing a prescription refill? Since a prescription refill can be done through a range of different document types and we cannot realistically take away signing priveleges to all these additional types I was hoping there might be another way to accomplish this.

Any ideas appreciated.

Scott, we looked at taking away rights to sign the Rx Refill document, however if the user did the refill via a chart maint document she was still able to sign off.

Any other ideas certainly appreciated.

On the signature part of permission

there is a signature field that say

RX Refill -Sign

you should change it to

Rx-Refill - Sign (additional Signature required)

Then, also change the right to Clinical List updates, this will also prevent them from doing it from chart update

We have always struggled with this, as the permissions are not granular enough to really lock down the prescriptions the way we'd like to. We've been asking GE for this ability to grant a separate privilege for the actual prescription signature function, but it is still based on document type signing privileges.
Currently we try to reduce the risk of staff inadvertantly signing off on Rx by training staff to never 'prep up' a prescription (ie; only providers should be filling out quantity & refill amounts).
