Functions such as filling prescriptions, adding patients and doctors, transmitting online claims, performing proactive DUR analysis, maintaining SIGs, and printing patient education leaflets can all be done while filling a prescription. This centralized design greatly improves the user's productivity by providing direct access to the majority of the tasks associated with prescription processing from a single location. The remaining tasks such as database maintenance, billing, system administration, reports, accounts receivable, nursing home support, are all organized within the system.
