I just hope that I won't be dumb as rock and won't have to keep asking them questions.
And if you don't mind, and if you remember, can you tell me what the buttons are for? Like X, F1, F2, F4 etc or buttons you think are important to know. Thank you!!!!!
Oh gosh I don't remember a lot off the top of my head but we'll see.
X = exits pretty much any screen you're on. If for some reason X isn't available, you can hit Esc then Y enter to return to the main screen without saving any changes.
F1 = useful for updating a patient's profile, say if they get new insurance or get married and change their name or something. Go to patient's profile and hit F1, then Enter to tab between screens.
F2-4 = I'm pretty sure these are just lookup tools for Prescribers, Drugs, and something else (don't remember) respectively. I don't use them too often.
F10 = credentials, but you probably already know about it. Should be the first thing you do on any shift after clocking in.
F11 = store info. By default shows you your own store's info but you can search for other stores too, say if you need the phone number for the nearest 24h store.
F12 = adjudication status
S = status; you know this one already. Also can use it in some places to schedule a prescription.
L = from the main screen, lets you print a prescription label. Helpful if you're on autopilot and fold a sticky label in half (as if you were going to put it on a manufacturer's packaging) when it's supposed to go on an amber vial, not like I've ever done that of course…
V# and E# = from a patient's profile, lets you view and edit a prescription, respectively. Edit especially when you need to rebill (E#, enter, 11, enter)
O and H = from the edit prescription screen, lets you out-of-stock or put a prescription on hold, respectively. Out-of-stocking it will prompt a few different options, including a partial fill and changing the NDC, and prompt you to communicate any changes to the patient. You can also OOS from QP by scanning the label first. H, for some reason, isn't always available when you edit a script.
QE = I still don't really get what this queue is for but if you can't find a script you put through (not in QV or QT), check here. I once had a script get suck on pending forever and wound up here for some reason.
Personally, I think RxConnect is pretty intuitive to use, and it helps that a lot of the keys are labeled either on the keyboard or on the screen. If you ever have some free time (haha, good joke, right?) play around with some of the menus (within reason—don't be inputting scripts that don't exist or whatever lol) to see what they do. I think the system is much better learned by using it rather than seeing a zillion screenshots.
