Step By Step Instructions
Minfos ePad allows you to add a product to an order easily and quickly from various locations during the dispensing process. The ePad orders are created in Order Maintenance based on the Preferred Supplier set in the stock card of each product added, and the ePad order’s will have a description based on today’s date for example ‘ePad dd/mm/yy’.
Note Where a medication is in focus when ePad is selected the ePad – Add products to ePad order window will populate with that item. Where no medication is in focus, any product can be added to the ePad using the standard Minfos search options. Where there is no available ePad order to add the product to then a new ePad order will be created in Order Maintenance Where an ePad order has been previously created for that day then products and quantities added via the ePad – Add products to ePad window, will be added to the existing ePad order If that day’s ePad is no longer in a Created status i.e. it has been transmitted or collected, or, manually marked as issued or received, a new ePad order with today’s date will be created If that day’s ePad order is open in Order Maintenance then a prompt is displayed notifying you that the order is being edited and provides an option to create a new ePad order
