Setup is a breeze. Here's what to do:
- Go to the RxParameters section of Master Parameters and check the VerifyPatientBDay check box.
- If you would like the clerk to enter the birthday including the year, check the VerifyBirthYear check box, otherwise leave it blank and the clerk will only be prompted to enter the month and day.
- There is one additional field, VerifyPatientBDayMan, that needs to be set to either “On with birthday displayed” or “On with birthday hidden.” This field determines whether the birthday shows on the screen with the entry prompt. Some users choose to show this field in case the person picking up the prescriptions is not aware of the birthdate.
