The prescription outcome tab is where the overall outcome for the prescription is selected and options filled out. There are two outcomes for a prescription: Dispense script and There is a problem with the script. The there is a problem with the script has been named so because the problem may not necessarily prevent dispensing the prescription.
Selecting there is a problem with the script displays a list of all the potential problems with the prescription. Some options hide fields on the prescription, making the field incomplete or missing. Other options require background data on the patient provided in the extras tab, such as subtheraputic doses or overdoses on medications.
