"Setting electronic prescription tokens to print by default can save time and ensure patients always have a physical copy to present at pharmacies, enhancing their flexibility in choosing where to have their prescription filled."
This setting helps improve the workflow in medical practices by ensuring prescription tokens are consistently available for patients, thus reducing potential delays at the pharmacy. Additionally, even with the default printing, users can opt-out of printing a token for specific prescriptions directly on the Issue screen.
Making prescription tokens readily available increases privacy and convenience, as patients can choose from a broader selection of pharmacies, and there is less reliance on third-party notifications or electronic systems functionalities.
