What you can do

Work from the linked record

A dispense review connects a care request to a prescription and a medication lot. It records revision, authorized units, pharmacist, review time and decision time. The submitted state gives the professional reviewer a clear queue. Approval or rejection is a human decision and should be entered with its actual decision time. The linked prescription and lot allow the team to inspect the intended medication before a dispensing line is recorded.

A review is tied to one care request, source prescription and selected medication lot. Its revision and decision time explain which record the pharmacist considered. The coordinator compares the linked prescription and lot with the actual dispensing line before treating the review as complete.

How the work is organized

  • Prepare the review. Link the request, prescription, organization and intended lot.
  • Record the decision. Enter the pharmacist name, actual decision time and resulting status.
  • Compare the outcome. Check the approved review against the dispensing line and lot.

Submitted dispense reviews identifies work awaiting the pharmacist decision. Open the linked prescription to check the patient and prescribed lines, then inspect the lot expiry and release value. Keep a rejected review visible so it cannot be mistaken for approved dispensing.

What to agree during setup

Agree who enters the pharmacist name and who records the decision after professional review. Decide how a review is corrected when the prescription, authorized units or lot changes before dispensing. Keep the organization link aligned with the care request and the operating pharmacy.

Rehearse a submitted review against a verified prescription and a received lot. Assign the professional decision to the pharmacist named on the review. Have the coordinator compare its decision time, status and linked lot with the eventual dispensing entry.

Check the handoff on an actual case

Prepare a review for a verified prescription and a received lot. Enter the authorized units and submit it. The pharmacist checks the source prescription and the lot, then records a decision. The coordinator compares the decision time, status and linked records before making a dispensing line. A rejected review remains separate from approved work.

Before recording a dispensing line, the Care Coordinator opens the pharmacist review and checks its linked prescription, intended lot, status and decision time. A rejected review stops this case at the review handoff; another decision belongs on a current review.
