Issuing medication in Jump is two steps, and they stay separate on purpose:
- Issue the medication - add it to the patient's record, with the prescribing checks, the
dosage and the authorisations.
- Send a prescription - turn what is now on the record into a script the patient can have
dispensed.
Everything you do stays linked to the patient record, with a clear audit trail of what was
prescribed and when.
Adding a medication
- Open the patient's record and scroll down to Medication.
- Choose Add medication.
- Search Jump's integrated dm+d database. Medicines are retrieved from dm+d, and you pick the
one you need.
Prescribing checks and dosages
When you pick a medicine, Jump runs prescribing checks against the patient's existing medications,
their allergies and their medical history.
It also pulls through dosages for you to choose from. Review the key prescribing details, then set
the quantity and the directions.
Acute, repeat, and authorisations
Choose how the script is issued:
- Acute - a one-off authorisation.
- Repeat - you set the number of authorisations you are signing off.
Two further options sit alongside that choice:
- Personally administered - if you are a dispensing practice, you can choose to administer the
medication yourself.
- Externally managed - use this when you want the medication on the patient's record but it is
managed somewhere else.
Sending the prescription
Once the medication has been issued to the patient, you can send them a prescription. The
medication you added to the record is pulled through for you.
You have two ways to send it:
- Electronically, through one of Jump's prescribing partners - Signature Rx, CloudRx, Holistic
or Roseway.
- Printed - download the script, sign it, and give it to the patient directly.
The electronic route gives you two things a printed script cannot. You get an alert once the
medication has been dispensed, and you can cancel the script at any point before that happens.
