2. LTC Form Manager
Overview
|Previously Nursing Home Manager|
The LTC Form Manager is used to configure and adjust MAR, Physician Order, and other forms. In the BestRx system, there are two form types: MAR Forms (Medication Administration Record) and Other Forms. Most pharmacies only print MARs, so they have a separate category, while other forms, like Physician Orders, are grouped together since they are rarely needed. By default, this screen displays all entered forms.

LTC Form Manager Settings
Form Name: Enter the name for your form. This name is for internal use and will be used to identify the form.
Form Type: Choose the correct type for this form; MAR form or Other.
Form Code: Select the correct code corresponding with the form you will be using or follow the link for a list of approved forms. If the code is not in the list, contact us to have the form programmed for you. The physical forms will usually have a form code in small print somewhere along the edges of the form. If the code on the form does not show up in the drop-down box, the pharmacy will have to send us a few forms in the mail so that we can create a form for it. This form cannot be faxed, it has to be mailed. When the forms are faxed, their sizes get slightly distorted during the transmission. The data needs to be printed precisely in order to fit into the various boxes and fields on the form. So in order for us to program things precisely, we need a few of the forms to be sent to us.
Left Margin: Select the number of units to offset the left margin by. 100 units equals one inch.
Top Margin: Select the number of units to offset the top margin by. 100 units equals one inch.
Default Printer: Select the default printer to use for printing Nursing Home forms.
Paper Source: Select the default paper source with the selected printer.
Dot-Matrix Printer Type: Indicate dot-matrix type. This setting is for dot-matrix printers only.
If you would like to test out a Mar Form but do not have a template you can try Form Code: MAR-TXRXSOLANDCMPD, this generates a MAR form that is already pre-programmed into BestRx.
