e-Prescribing in Luma MDX

E-prescribing helps practices reduce delays, improve accuracy, and streamline coordination with pharmacies by sending prescriptions electronically rather than by paper or phone/fax. It supports routine outpatient prescribing as well as specialty practice needs.

• The prescribing clinician independently selects the medication, including dose, route, quantity, directions, and refills based on clinical judgment and the patient’s needs. Luma MDX does not direct, substitute, or alter prescriber decision-making.
• The patient selects their preferred pharmacy. Prescriptions are transmitted electronically to the pharmacy chosen by the patient.

From the Patient Details page, the prescriber can begin the e-prescribing workflow by selecting “Add Prescription.” All prescribing actions are performed within the patient’s record, ensuring accurate demographic, allergy, and medication history data are incorporated into the prescription process.

The prescriber searches for a medication using an autocomplete drug database. Once selected, they enter required prescribing details such as dosage, directions (SIG), quantity, refills, days supply, substitution preferences, and pharmacy notes. Clinical decision support automatically checks for drug–drug and drug–allergy interactions during this process.

The prescriber can select a pharmacy for the prescription or use the patient’s saved default pharmacy. Pharmacies can be searched by name, address, or phone number, and the patient’s preferred pharmacies can be managed within their profile.

The prescriber retains the ability to change the pharmacy before sending.

Before transmission, the prescriber reviews all prescription details. For controlled substances (EPCS), identity proofing and PIN verification are required. If configured, the system may require acknowledgment of drug interaction alerts prior to signing.

Once approved and signed, the prescription is securely transmitted electronically (NewRx) to the selected pharmacy. The prescription then moves from the Pending list to the active Prescriptions list.

Status updates reflect transmission progress.

The prescribing team can track prescription status, including transmission progress, pharmacy verification, refill requests, and any transmission errors. Status history is available within the patient’s record and Dashboard.
