Interim orders are placed by the home using the Atlas PCS device for medication which may be required short-term for example antibiotics or chronic medication which will run out of stock before the monthly supply is received by the home.
To view the pending interim orders per home follow this process:
1. Click on the Interim Orders tab from the tool bar located at the top of Atlas Pharmacy or from the Atlas Home page.
2. Any pending interim's placed by the home will be displayed on this page with the following details the residents name, drug/item name and the date the interim order had been placed. The interim order will remain on this screen until a prescription has been received or the interim order becomes expired.
3. Once a prescription has been received and processed for the outstanding order, the order will then be marked as dispensed and will automatically clear from the screen.
All interim order placed within the previous three months can be viewed from the patient profile within the interim section.
