Short answer

In Clinizy Care, open Prescriptions and choose a patient from Active Visits, or press New Rx to search for anyone. Add the diagnosis and each medicine with its dose, frequency, duration and route. Save a draft while you work, then press Finalize to issue and lock the prescription.

Before you start

  • Have the patient in today’s OPD queue, or know their name, UHID or phone number.
  • Doctors need an MCI / NMC registration number on My Profile before they can finalize.
  • Check the patient’s recorded allergies. The builder shows them while you prescribe.

Steps

  1. Open Prescriptions. Under Active Visits, press Write Rx next to the patient.

    The Prescriptions page with the Active Visits list, a Write Rx button for each patient, and the New Rx button.
    Step 1 of 7

    Tip:For anyone not in the queue, press New Rx and search for them. Admins also pick the Prescribing doctor.

  2. Search the Diagnosis by name or ICD-10 code and pick it.

    Tip:If nothing matches, you can add what you typed as a custom diagnosis.

    Careful:You need a diagnosis and at least one medicine to finalize.

  3. Press Add medicine, then search the medicine name and pick it from the list.

    The prescription builder for a patient, with a diagnosis added, a medicine row with dose, frequency, duration and route, and the Add medicine, Save Draft and Finalize buttons.
    Step 3 of 7

    Tip:If the medicine is not in the list, the name you typed is used as it is.

  4. Fill Dose, Frequency, Duration and Route for each medicine.

    Careful:All four are needed before you can finalize. A safety panel checks allergies, duplicates and doses as you go.

  5. Add lab tests, Advice and a Follow-up Date if the patient needs them.

  6. Press Save Draft to keep your work. A draft stays editable.

    Tip:For a patient in today’s queue, your draft also saves itself a few seconds after you stop typing.

  7. Press Finalize and confirm. The prescription locks and its PDF is prepared.

    The Recent Prescriptions list with a draft and a finalized prescription. The finalized one shows its status, medicines and follow-up date, with Print and WhatsApp buttons.
    Step 7 of 7

    Careful:Only a doctor, or an admin marked Also a consulting doctor, can finalize. Anyone else can save a draft for the doctor.

If something goes wrong

What if I close the window before saving?

Clinizy Care asks before it throws your work away. For anyone not in today’s queue, press Save Draft once to start the visit, and your draft then saves itself.

How do I fix a prescription after finalizing it?

Open it and press Issue a correction, then say what is being corrected. The new prescription replaces the old one, and both stay on record.

Can I repeat an earlier prescription?

Yes. Under Recent Prescriptions, open the menu on an earlier prescription and press Repeat. Choose the patient, then check every dose.
