Prescription Status

A prescription can have one of nine of the following statuses:

  Active         A prescription with this status can be filled or refilled.

  Cancelled      This status is used when a prescription was made inactive either by a new 
                 prescription or by the request of a physician.
  Deleted        This status is used when a prescription is deleted. Prescriptions are no 
                 longer physically deleted from the system, but marked as deleted. Once a 
                 prescription is marked deleted no access is allowed other than view.
  Expired        This status indicates the expiration date has passed.
                 Note: A prescription which was cancelled or has expired more recently than 
                 the date specified by the cutoff date, typically 45 days in the past, can 
                 still be acted upon.
  Hold           A prescription that was placed on hold due to reasons determined by the 
                 pharmacist.
  Non-verified   Depending on a site parameter, prescriptions entered by a technician do not 
                 become active until they are reviewed by a pharmacist. Until such review, 
                 they remain non-verified and cannot be printed, cancelled or edited except 
                 through the Verification menu.
  Pending Due    This status is given to prescriptions when a drug/drug interaction is 
  to Drug        encountered during the new order entry or editing of a prescription.
  Interactions   

  Refill         A second or subsequent filling authorized by the provider.

  Suspended      A prescription which will be filled at some future date.
