Adding and Authorizing Users
In order to use the BestRx system, first, users must be set-up with appropriate IDs and access rights. Typically, this is done with the help of our staff by the owner of the pharmacy or the head pharmacist-in-charge.
First, go to the User menu by going to: Administration:> 1. User Profiles -> A. Add/Update User.
You will come across the Restricted Access screen such as the one in the example below.
As we're setting up users for the first time, simply hit 'Authorize' as the user RPh does not have a password set up.
It is very highly recommended to first create the owner/PIC user ID first with full access as the administration ID, and then enter all other users required.
Select 'Add New User'
Enter the required information; you must enter the ID (typically first name or nickname), First and Last name, RPh or Tech initials depending on the user being entered, New Password and Confirm Password.
For the state of New York, the Provider ID must be filled out with the pharmacist's individual NPI number.
For the state of New Jersey, the PIN and Confirm PIN must be entered for Workflow use.
Click "Save & Exit" when done.
Access Rights
At this point, you'll be required to assign proper authorization and access to the user just created. Simply look over the categories, and adjust any and all you wish to give Full Access, Read-Only Access (where specified) or No Access.
Click "Save & Exit" when done assigning Access Rights.
User Preferences
At this time, the user has been created, and they will be able to log into the BestRx program. If they would like, they can also alter individual user preferences according to their habits and likes. Log into the user account in question, then go to: Administration -> 1. User Profiles -> C. User Preferences.
When you are done changing their preferences, simply click "Save & Exit".
Now, the user is fully set-up, and you can begin entering prescriptions. At this time, you can set-up other users as you see fit by logging into the RPH ID or the primary owner/PIC user ID and going through the same steps to create additional user IDs. When you are done adding users, it is very highly recommended that you delete the generic RPH ID as it has no password and full access.
Go back to: Administration -> 1. User Profiles -> A. Add/Update User. Select the RPH user ID from the list.
Click the "Delete" button in the bottom right.
Click "Yes" to delete the user on the confirmation dialogue box.
