The Rx Authorizations screen allows users to view and manage all the pending prescriptions in a location. The list may include pending prescriptions for multiple patients.
The items on the Rx Authorizations list display based on a user’s permission. Only those prescriptions that the user can approve appear on the list.
Users can select multiple rows and sort by column. Scroll bars appear (if needed) automatically.
Highlighting a row or a set of rows enables the buttons below the list.
The Match button is enabled when the user selects one or more unmatched prescriptions, (those having a 'No' value on the Match column)
The Deny button is enabled when a value is selected on "Reasons for Denial".
Double clicking on a row has the same effect as selecting an item and clicking the Details button. It invokes the Rx Authorization Details screen for the selected item.
Note: When a new Rx is issued to hold via print, it appears in the Rx authorizations list with a printer icon next to it.

Match |
The Match button is enabled when a user highlights a prescription that is not matched to a patient. This is indicated by a "No" value on the Match column.
