ePrescribe Quick Start

Once your Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is integrated with Ensora eRx, you'll need to subscribe your staff and prescribers to Ensora eRx. Once users are subscribed, they can begin ePrescribing immediately. Use this outline to track your progress toward mastering the ePrescribe process and optimizing your experience.

Subscribe to Ensora eRx

An Organization Administrator will first need to subscribe their Providers to ePrescribe in the system. Once subscribed each Provider will need to register with Ensora eRx. There are two levels of access for staff when using e-Prescribe: Registered Staff and Subscribed Staff. ALL staff accessing e-Prescribe must be Registered Staff. Those who are prescribing medication are BOTH Registered AND Subscribed Staff.

1. Organization Administrator
   • Register and Subscribe Staff to e-Prescribe
   • Select EPCS Administrators (You must assign an EPCS account admin if your practice has EPCS prescribers. An EPCS account admin must be set up before a prescriber can be granted EPCS access.)
2. Providers:
   • Register for eRx with EPCS - this includes Identity Proofing and Setting up your Token.
   • Register for eRx as Admin/Nurse

     NOTE: Admin users are registered but do not have a paid subscription like prescribers do. Admin users have access to many functions in Ensora eRx, but do not have the same access as subscribed prescribers.

   • Register for eRx only - No controlled substances
3. For EPCS only - Grant or Revoke Prescribers' EPCS Rights

Create Prescriptions

Once you have registered, you will be able to start ePrescribing with Ensora eRx. Your primary workflow within Ensora eRx will be to electronically transmit a prescription to a patient pharmacy. Once you are inside a patient's chart in your EHR system, you can access ePrescribe with Ensora eRx to electronically send a prescription directly to that patient's pharmacy. To launch Ensora eRx from your patient's chart, click Manage Medications in the sidebar, then click the Manage Prescriptions button.
