Using the Integration
From the Patient Screen, click Integrations --> EasyRx. This will launch EasyRx and pass patient information for the patient from Edge to EasyRx.
You'll see two scenarios when using the integration:
1. Edge patient is linked to a EasyRx patient record
2. Edge patient is not linked to a EasyRx patient record
Scenario #1 Edge Patient record is linked to a existing EasyRx patient record
If the selected Edge patient is already linked to a patient record in EasyRx, EasyRx opens the edit a patient screen. From here you can view the prescription history, create a Rx or attach a STL file and so forth:
Scenario #2: Edge patient is not linked to a EasyRx patient record
-If the Edge patient is not linked to a EasyRx patient record, the following screen is displayed
From this screen you can connect to an existing EasyRx patient or create a new patient
If the patient does exist in EasyRx, but EasyRx was unable to automatically link to the patient, you can manually link the patient. Click [Select Patient] under Connect Patient Records, lookup the patient and click [Connect]:
This will link the patient record in Edge with the patient record in EasyRx. Going forward, the patient record will open automatically when opened using the integration.
If the patient does not exist in EasyRx, click [Create] to add the patient. EasyRx will add the patient record, update the data fields in EasyRx, and link the patient record in Edge with the patient record in EasyRx
Once the patient is manually linked or added, EasyRx opens to the Edit Patient screen.
NOTES:
- The integration is a push integration, meaning Information is EasyRx is updated when the patient is opened from Edge and the EasyRx integration button is clicked. For example, if you make a new appointment for the patient in Edge, you need to use the Integration button again for EasyRx to pull the patient's new appointment data into EasyRx. As long as you open patients from Edge first, you'll be fine.
- The integration does not auto-update appointment dates for EasyRx prescription already [Saved] or [Submitted] to your labs.
- If the current appointment for a specific patient in EasyRx is later than the appointment date in Edge the appointment information will not updated in EasyRx. This is intentional behavior in case your staff forgets to update the appointment in Edge.
