Do you want to keep track of the pharmacy your patient goes to so you can fax their prescriptions directly? Are you using our outbound faxing integration and would like to be able to fax to the pharmacies straight from the prescription module of Juno EMR? The preferred pharmacy tool in Juno allows you to do just that. The guide below will give you everything you need to be able to add new pharmacies to your pharmacy list, update your existing pharmacies and assign preferred pharmacies to your patients.
Getting to the preferred pharmacy section
The preferred pharmacy section is accessible through any patient's prescription section. Simply open the prescription module by clicking on any of the "Rx" links or on the "Medication" header in the patient's eChart. Once there, click on the "Preferred Pharmacy" link located at the top of the page.

Note that assigning a preferred pharmacy to a specific patient requires you to access the preferred pharmacy section for that patient's medication module.
To search for existing pharmacies
Start typing the name of the pharmacy you are looking for in the "Search Pharmacy" box. A list of matching pharmacies will appear in a green reactangle under the box as soon as you type in a few characters. Click on the name of the pharmacy you are looking for to have the details displayed in the various boxes below the search section. (Picture 2)
Search can be also be narrowed down by city. Enter the first few letters of a city name in the "Narrow Search By City" field, and select the name of the city you wish to narrow your search to. (Picture 3) Once the city is selected from the matching options, enter the name of a pharmacy in the "Search Pharmacy" field. Juno will now only give you results for pharmacies located in the city you selected.
