How can I enter a Staged Supply (SS) script?

There are two ways to set up Staged Supply scripts in StrongER, depending on the Drug Schedule (Schedule 8 or Schedule 4) it will determine the method you use to set up the Staged Supply

Schedule 8 medications:

1. Locate the prescription in the Prescriptions page, click on the prescription to expand the details of the prescription.
2. Under the prescription details, change Mark as to SS (Staged Supply)
3. Then, put a tick next to the script number and select Continue in the bottom left-hand corner, this will bring up the Add Prescription window. Instructions will continue below under the heading "Add Prescription"

Schedule 4 medications:

1. Ensure the medication has balance recorded against it under Stock Management > Stocktake (ensure to deselect the filters DD and Active, to be able to medications other than S8). If there is no balance recorded, add quantity into the drug register, either the amount that you require for the staged supply or more if you don't want to add balance in again next time. You can add in a note of "staged supply balance" for your reason of changing the stock on hand.
2. Click on the Enrol New Patient button on the sidebar (optional)
3. Navigate to the patients profile and select the Staged Supply tab
4. Click the plus icon in the prescriptions row

Add Prescription
