Results Achieved to Date
- ExpectedResults: The goal is to have the patient be able to get their prescription refills at the UHS pharmacy when they return in the fall without significant delay for the students and unnecessary work on the part of the pharmacist, clinician or nursing staff. The team is exploring strategies within the electronic health record at UHS that may allow 2 prescriptions to cover the time period or accessing the prescription through the health information management functions.
