some favorites uh... they might want to quickly prescribed

1:33

um... on the top give the patient's name in each and uh... preferred pharmacy

1:38

uh... this is for a few using

1:40

the uh...

1:41

eat faxing features of oscar to u_s_ and faxes directly from oscar to a pharmacy

1:47

so again drug name here uh... skis something simple like aspirin

1:53

yes it at the least realtors and hit the struck down boxes come up

1:56

uh... and the more that issue type and their research will do some affect on

2:00

the phone line for aspirin

2:02

the uh... drugs that show up a rather you white or gray like this if they're

2:06

great

2:07

uh... then there

2:08

uh... inactive drugs so choose wisely dominant choose this one here aspirin

2:13

eighty one milligram sp

2:15

and it's gonna start creating a prescription for me here and i can have

2:17

instructions in quantity and all that sort of stuff

2:20

if i wanted to

2:21

brave scription for multiple drugs like actually just type in the name of the

2:24

second right here

2:27

and select it

2:28

and i can add to drugs uh... just like that

2:32

um...

2:34

if i wanted to

2:35

remove one of these drugs if i hadn't chosen the wrong one items could relax

2:38

aside it'll go away or i can put the reset button actually and i will remove

2:42

all of them

2:44

uh... under the code name as well if i start taking an aspirin

2:48

and i of

2:50

you don't wanna look through this big list if i wanted to

2:53

i can also click the search

2:56

and i'll search for any generic names uh...

2:59

if a particular drug name initialing the check their drug names here and then put

3:02

brand names on the right hand side neck through those straight a prescription as

3:06

well

3:08

so but again i'm just gonna

3:10

uh... taken two aspirins select what i want

3:13

and

3:14

uh... continue on from here

3:18

so it's important to note that uh... now that's elected the strength here if i'd

3:22

been started

3:23

taking in any changes in the same box here

3:26

comments can actually change the name of the drug and oscar and and they'll be a

3:30

warning that pops up

3:31

um... that asks you if you want to do that

3:33

it's not a good idea so i i doubt i'd recommend just odd

3:37

leaving this box alone

3:38

in the instructions walks here um... you can go through and start taking an

3:42

instruction and this is actually what's gonna be written on the prescriptions we

3:45

can raise your whatever you want

3:47

uh... but there's a little trip to the instructions

3:50

and that's that um writing instructions in certain formats will tell oskar

3:55

uh... that duration

3:57

uh... you can see there's this duration and right now it's up to zero but

4:00

certain instructions will tell oscar what the duration

4:03

um... that the patient is on that medication for

4:06

saw school now if it's a current medication if the patients on it or

4:09

or uh... if they're not on it

4:12

so i'm gonna go in and uh... rate and instruction one twenty

4:17

and uh... now oscar knows

4:21

season is a click into the next box it's telling oscar that they're gonna be

4:24

taking one

4:25

uh... pretty and if i enter quantity here of sixteen

4:30

uh... then it knows that they're taking wanted a for sixty days

4:34

and so you can see the quantity box here gets filled out and the duration

4:39

uh...

4:40

gets entered and sixty so on

4:42

now when i create this prescription oscars can and now that the duration is

4:45

sixteen

4:47

if you just wanted to write something else in here like uh...

4:51

uh...

4:53

t juan

4:54

you know orally clearly

4:58

hospice talking to recognize that to come

5:01

so

5:02

uh...

5:04

actually actually did uh... but there are certain instructions a camera in

5:08

here that astral not recognize the voice but in a string of letters like that

5:13

oscar is not going to know what the duration of this

5:16

so you can actually there's a few things

5:18

pecan right into this instruction blocks on this

5:21

a little guide on

5:23

operating instructions and how that

5:27

how oskar will know what you mean

5:29

and so if you put a little question mark

5:31

here you can see what i have a rover that says field reference

5:35

uh... it's gonna bring up

5:37

this field reference instructions and

5:39

certain combinations of these methods reads frequencies

5:42

members interracial mistletoe oscar shouldn't think so

5:47

one appropriate chechens' area and he was one of the

5:50

another one might be uh... take too

5:55

uh... so to speak

5:58

and then and uh... deletha africans instructions so

6:03

taken take two daily in the nafta quantity of sixty
