Patient Group
Patient: Used when you want to search for a specific patient

Select the tick all box to select all scripts, alternatively manually select scripts you wish to import QTY to patient’s pill balance.
If your script QTY does not reflect the pack size e.g. Ikorel 10mg - QTY 1 (box) rather than 60 (tablets), select the pencil icon to manually adjust the correct QTY to be imported to patient pill balance.
Select Imported Selected Scripts to import script QTY to patient’s pill balance.
Select Ignore Selected Scripts if you wish to not import the script QTY nor do you want to see this script appear in your search results. E.g. an original box has been supplied to patient and not required to update patient pill balance.
