The Prescription Details Report lists Rx details, based on varied specific Rx criteria shown across two screens.
- The user defined criteria can be saved as a template, which makes repeat runs of the reports easier. Generally, all that is required is an adjustment to the date (Use F3 Date Range for shortcuts)
- The information shown on the resulting list of Rx details can also be chosen to some extent
- The resultant list can be viewed on screen, printed, exported in a format that can be read in spread sheeting software like Excel (CSV file), or exported as a PDF file
- Lists printed (or viewed on screen) show the criteria used at the top of the report, with totals (No. of Rx’s, Prices) at the bottom (Page down)
