5. Re-Prescribe or Duplicate Script Functions

This is another common facility provided by some prescribing software systems, whereby the prescriber accesses the patient history and selects a script in the history to create a new prescription identical to the one selected.

It is important to ensure that the re-prescribed item must follow the current AIP rules and not the rules as saved when previously prescribed.
