How do I restrict medication supply?

There are scenarios where it is not safe to keep prescribing medication and access to medication should be restricted. For example, a patient on Methotrexate who does not attend monitoring should not continue to receive monthly prescriptions. For their safety, access should be restricted until the monitoring is up-to-date.

Our prescribing module has scenarios where this may be recommended and tools to support restricting supply, informing the patient, and documenting within the records. 

We have 5 videos in this series that will take you through the process our system follows.
