I've completed identity proofing with DrFirst, now what do I do?

Once your e-prescribe account is fully activated, it's time to use DrFirst. Here's how to do things efficiently.

Fastest ways to set up a chart & send a prescription

2. Here are the prescription options:

Enter a brand new prescription.
- Enter "sig" info via free text (you do NOT have to pick from every drop-down).
- Enter "sig" info via Dr First sig/pharmacist text shortcuts.
- Call up one of your pre-defined favorites.
Renew a prescription:
- Renew just one previous prescription (to do this, DON'T click the prescription itself, click the "Renew from medication" or "Prescribe from medication" icons) OR,
- Renew more than one prescription at a time.
Send the prescription:
- Enter your signature password to send any prescription - this was sent to you in an email confirming your account was set up.
- If a controlled substance, check the box, then sign with your "passphrase" that you set during identity proofing (NOT your "signature password") and token.
- For more explanations of DrFirst passwords and how to reset them, check out this article.

Note: If you see a warning that you are not set up for prescribing controlled substances, please contact us to investigate what could be happening with DrFirst.

Big time-savers

2. Add medication to your favorites list, and prescribe from there to save time.

Note: To prefill the "sig" when prescribing from your favorites list, make sure to click the link that shows the sig (directly below the medication - e.g., "1 capsule by mouth").
