The NZePS require that only authorised Prescribers are allowed to use the ‘Send’ buttons to upload an ePrescription to the NZePS hub and pharmacy.

You need to configure the menu permissions to allow access to the Send button for the Prescriber and disallow access to all other staff.

1. Log in as an Operator who has sufficient privileges to be able to alter and assign menu Permissions.

2. Go to Setup > Personnel > Permissions. Import a new menu if prompted.

3. Navigate down the list and enable Patient > eScripts

   

4. Then go further down and enable Office > eScript
