Synchronising Repeats

A patient's repeat medication can be synchronised to the same repeat until date and issue frequency to simplify medication reviews.

To synchronise repeats:

1. From Vision Anywhere, open a patient record, see Patient Summary for details.
2. Select the Medication heading and the Medication screen displays.
3. Select Reauthorise and a list of valid items for reauthorisation displays:

   

4. Review the items and select Exclude to remove any drugs not required.
5. Now select Reauthorise and the Synchronise Repeats screen displays.
   Note - If you do not want to synchronise the repeats you can simply select Reauthorise , without selecting Treatment duration and Issue frequency.
6. Select a Treatment duration and an Issue frequency from the available list, see Duration and Issue Frequency for details:

   

7. The quantity of drugs for the issue frequency, for example, monthly, calculates supply based on the daily quantity. Treatment duration, for example, 6 months, updates the Repeat Until date.
   Note - Not all items can be automatically synchronised, alerts display additional information, see Synchronisation Alerts for details.
8. Review the Dosage and Supply, update if required.
   Training Tip - Remove the tick in front of the item name to reauthorise it without synchronising it.
9. Select Reauthorise to proceed.
10. Select each item to review the prescriber warnings. If you wish to change the medication, select Cancel to return to the previous screen:

    

11. Select Save to finish.

A confirmation message 'Reauthorising repeat medication' displays at the top of the screen during the reauthorisation process, this changes to 'Reauthorisation complete' to indicate successful reauthorisation. If reauthorisation fails, a warning displays, see Synchronisation Failed for details.
