The ePrescriber Registration feature allows you to add a new prescriber or non-prescriber in the system. 

[Accordion] Getting Started

Use this module to register a new prescriber and complete their ePrescribing setup. This quick configuration ensures providers have the necessary system credentials to write and transmit electronic prescriptions efficiently.

1. Requester Information:
   • Your Name (required): Search for and select the person who is requesting the registration on behalf of the staff member
   • Your Email Address (required): Enter the requester's email address

   • Email (required): Enter the prescriber’s email address
   • Phone (required): Enter the prescriber’s phone number
   • User Type (required): Select the type of user from the following:
     (i) Prescriber - This user type is for a staff member who can prescribe using their own license. May be a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, chiropractor, etc.
     (ii) Clinical Staff - This user type is for staff members who are allowed to create prescriptions for a Prescriber to send. This role is recommended for nurses, clinical managers, and similar roles. Clinical staff will also have access to the patient profiles, and can set the default pharmacy for patients. Clinical Staff can also view the Periodic Report, a PDF-based report that lists prescriptions completed within a selected time period for selected prescribers at the current location. Users can filter by provider and date range, up to a 90-day window. It is a printable, compliance-oriented output that is useful for auditing or reviewing prescription history in a structured document format.
     (iii) Non-Clinical Staff - This user type is for staff members who need access to view patient records, and assign a default pharmacy for patients. They can also view the Periodic Report that Clinical Staff have access to.
     (iv) Front Desk Staff - This user type is for staff members who need access to view patient records, assign a default pharmacy for patients, and view the Prescription Summary.
   • Practice Locations (required): Select the location where this ePrescribing user will operate
   • Admin Permissions: Click/Tap on [[lbl:Yes>> ]] button if the prescriber should have administrative access, otherwise choose [[lbl:No>> ]]. Users with ePrescribing Admin permissions will be able to access and control practice and location-specific preferences from the ePrescribing Portal. They will also be the users who complete the controlled substance prescribing activation alongside prescribers. Prescribers may also be Admin users, allowing them to adjust practice and location preferences, but will not have access to activate themselves or other prescribers for controlled substance prescribing
