About
Within NextStep, Providers can easily access Prescription Reports where prescriptions for multiple clients can be managed in one place. From here, Providers can send, print, and sign prescriptions. The report can be filtered by Provider, Patient, Drug Type, and Status. Additionally, prescriptions can be sent, printed, or signed directly from a client's Prescription Management section of the Patient Summary page.
