The quickest way to start a review in Patient Check is to scan the barcode on the dispense label.

How you do this depends on whether your pharmacy has enabled the option to open Patient Check by scanning a dispense label directly from Z Dispense.

You’ll learn how to:

• Start Patient Check by scanning a dispense label
• Scan a label from the Patient Check Selection window
• Use the other available script-selection options

Scan a dispense label directly from Z Dispense

If your pharmacy has enabled the option to open Patient Check when a dispense label is scanned:

1. From Z Dispense, scan the barcode on the dispense label.
2. Patient Check opens with the corresponding patient and script ready for review.

You do not need to open Patient Check or select another option before scanning.

Scan from Patient Check Selection

If the direct dispense-label scanning option has not been enabled:

1. Select Patient Check from the Z Dispense menu.
2. The Patient Check Selection window opens.
3. Scan the barcode on the dispense label.
4. Patient Check will open with the script loaded for review.

You do not need to select the search field or another option before scanning the label.

Other ways to start a review

If you do not have the dispense label available, you can also find a script from the Patient Check Selection window.

Enter a script number

1. Enter the script number in the search field, and press enter
2. Patient Check will open with the corresponding script loaded for review.

Search for a patient

1. Enter the patient’s name in the search field.
2. Select the arrow beside the patient to view their scripts
3. Double-click the script you want to review.

Select from the dispensing list

The Patient Check Selection window displays patients with scripts for the selected dispensing date, defaulting to today's date.

To find a script:

1. Use the date field to select the required dispensing date.
2. Select the arrow beside the patient to expand their scripts.
3. Double-click the script you want to review.

Start the review

Once the script is selected, Patient Check opens with the corresponding patient and script information.

You can now perform the pharmacist review.
