One of our Ortho doctors has a form that uses a series of buttons to add commonly prescribed medications quickly using the MEL_ADD_MEDICATION() function. The problem is that most of our patients are defaulted to our in house pharmacy that uses e-scripting. Since he prescribes a lot of schedule 2 meds that can't be e-prescribed, it's very common for the medication to get added to the med list, but no script is generated. As far as I can tell there's no way to pass the prescribing method with the function. Has anyone else run in to this or come up with a work around?

After looking at the help file, it does not seem that Centricity will allow you to prescribe Schedule 2 meds in that way.

From Centricity:

Note. You cannot add Schedule II medications if the quantity is greater than zero, and the prescribing method is Electronic, Fax to Pharmacy, or Re-Fax. You cannot assign refills for Schedule II medications at the same time that you are writing the prescription. See the Refill prescriptions topic for more information on working with Schedule II medications.

I'm sorry, but I don't think it will work. I haven't figured out a work around yet either, but I'm still hopeful.

As a side note, would you be willing to share some of the mel_add_medication text that you are using from your buttons? I would be interested to create a form for some of my docs, but am having trouble getting the code to actually add the medication.
