There is enhanced integration with Covetrus Prescription Management. This means a practice who orders through Covetrus Prescription Management will be able to write prescriptions right from a patient’s medical record when the feature is enabled.
NOTE: You must first set up the integration with Covetrus Prescription Management. Once the setup is complete, it can be enabled by Support.

- The next step varies depending on if the Patient/Client records in the system and Prescription Management have been previously linked or not. This integration respects any Patients/Clients that you've previously linked through the Prescription Management site. Here are the various paths:
- Path 1 - Client and Patient records in the system and Prescription have previously been linked. You're all set and can move to Step 6 to finalize the prescription!
- Path 2 - Linking a Patient and Client that exist in Prescription Management but have not been linked to the Patient and Client records in the system.
- You can search for the Patient in Prescription Management right from the integration. Clicking on the matching Patient record in the results will link the Patient and Client Records to the records in Prescription Management. Once that is done you can skip the next three paths and move to Step 6 to finalize the prescription!
- If you don't find the Patient in the search results move on to Path 3 to import them into Prescription Management.

Path 4 - Importing into Prescription Management and linking a new Patient and Client. This would be the path for Patients/Clients that are new to your Practice or a current Patient that you've never written a prescription for on the Prescription Management website.
When you reach the Patient Search (see image above in Path 2), click 'Import as new'.
On the next screen, you'll select the 'This is a new client' option.
- Some fields will automatically populate with information from the Client and Patient records. Confirm the pre-populated information and enter info into any fields that are empty.

- Within the “Units Per Fill” field enter the quantity dispensed. The remaining field defaults and rules function according to settings within the Prescription management platform. This includes Autoship defaults, the Authorizing Veterinarian, SIG Shortcuts, and Notes to Client Shortcuts. All SmartScribe functionality is also available. Specifically, the system checks for species, keywords, weight, or controlled substance concerns. When the script fields are complete, click on the Send button located at the bottom of the screen.
- When the prescription has been submitted, a page will appear showing the prescription has been successful.
- If enabled, prescription recommendation details will be written back into the appropriate patient's medical history.
- When the client accepts and pays for the filled prescription, the details of the prescription order will be written back again in a separate entry into the patient medical history.
