Prescription Status

A prescription can have one of nine of the following statuses:

Active A prescription with this status can be filled or refilled.

Cancelled This status is used when a prescription was made inactive either by a new

              prescription or by the request of a physician.

Deleted This status is used when a prescription is deleted. Prescriptions are no longer

              physically deleted from the system, but marked as deleted. Once a prescription  
              is marked deleted no access is allowed other than view.

Expired This status indicates the expiration date has passed.

              Note: A prescription which was cancelled or has expired more recently than the 
              date specified by the cutoff date, typically 45 days in the past, can still be 
              acted upon.

Hold A prescription that was placed on hold due to reasons determined by the

              pharmacist.

Non-verified Depending on a site parameter, prescriptions entered by a technician do not

              become active until they are reviewed by a pharmacist. Until such review, they 
              remain non-verified and cannot be printed, cancelled or edited except through 
              the Verification menu.

Pending Due This status is given to prescriptions when a drug/drug interaction is encountered to Drug during the new order entry or editing of a prescription. Interactions

Refill A second or subsequent filling authorized by the provider.

Suspended A prescription which will be filled at some future date.
