Administration

The topics covered here require that you are configured as an Administrator in the Scriptsure application.  If you are not, please work with your organization's Super User and/or your Remarkable Health Support Specialist.

Where can I find the BAA and EULA that must be accepted before you can access Scriptsure?

How do I add a new user?

Add a User

The agency administrator adds new users.

      The CT|One Network id can be found in the CT|One master record, found by going to the Core Menu and selecting CT|One Master.

      You can find the Staff Key on the Staff Master window in CT|One:

      So in this example, the External Id for Staff 100 would be CSIPUBEPAZ:STAFF-5349.

How do I set up a Prescriber?

To set a user up as a Prescriber, the User Profile in Scriptsure (platform (https://platform.scriptsure.com/#/login , select User) or via the app (CT|One or https://us.scriptsure.com/#/login , go to user settings) must have the following settings:

  • Tab 1 – General
    • There are no requirements for a provider on this screen.  You can set title to MD or DO, etc if you want, but it's just a text label.  You do need to set a user type, but that does not affect settings, it is purely informational regarding the user.
  • Tab 2 – Security - Prescriber
    • This must be selected in order to have a provider be established as a prescriber.
  • Tab 6 – Set users that can prescribe for the provider (if desired).  This allows nurses or other staff to create prescriptions on behalf of the provider.
  • Tab 7 – Provider credentials must be entered for DEA (if prescribing controlled) and NPI.  
    • IMPORTANT:  You will be charged for each user with an NPI.  If a user does not issue prescriptions in their own name (meaning their name is not the prescriber on the pill bottle/vial, etc), do not fill out an NPI.
  • Tab 8 – Basic and Controlled checked.  
    • Both basic and controlled assume the provider is doing controlled prescribing; if not, no need to register for this
    • Click Request EPCS approval if you want, but the system will automatically trigger this when complete is clicked.

IMPORTANT FINAL STEP:

The final step is for an admin to login via CT|One or https://us.scriptsure.com/#/login.  They will be presented with a pop-up that says EPCS requests to approve.  Click Approve next to that provider’s name.


How does Prescribe Using/Prescribe For work?  Can a non-prescriber be authorized to issue scripts on a prescriber's behalf?

You may have a prescriber in an office that does not work every day of the week.  But clients are seen every day and have prescription needs to be met when the prescriber is not on-site.  How do I configure Scriptsure so that scripts can be sent when the prescriber is not in the office?

Scriptsure users can be configured (via Add/Edit User) for Prescribe Using
Use Prescribe Using to allow a non-prescribing staff to prescribe for a prescriber using that prescriber's credentials.

  • Prescribe Using staff should not have NPIs.   If the staff has an NPI for some other reason, the NPI field on the Identification tab (7) should still be blank in Scriptsure.
  • Configuration:
    • For each user that will Prescribe Using, section 2 of their profile, Security, must be set to Supporting Staff.
    • For each user that will Prescribe Using, section 5 of their profile, Prescribe Using, must include all prescribers the user will prescribe on behalf of.
    • For each user that will Prescribe Using, Section 7 of their profile, Identifiers, should have NPI blank.
    • For each user that will Prescribe Using, section 8 of their profile, Service Level, should have no boxes checked.
  • When prescribing, non-controlled meds can be sent without requiring prescriber approval when clicking Send to Pharmacy. 
    • If approval is desired, click Send for Approval.
  • Controlled scripts still require a prescriber to approve and will use id.me to verify the prescriber.
    • For controlled scripts that are queued for the prescriber, there is a Practice Setting you can configure to send the prescriber an email alert of the waiting script. 
      •  Practice Setting:  Pending Prescription Alerts
        • Can configure to send text messages or emails.
        • Can configure a follow-up reminder every 30/60/90/120 minutes.  Will email every X mins until a max number of reminders are sent or the script is approved.
        • Do No Disturb quiet times can be configured during which no alerts are sent.
      • User Setting:  Pending Prescription Alerts: 
        • The dr. can opt out of alerts and set their own quiet times.

NOTE:  Only prescribers should have an NPI set on the Identification tab (7).


How do I set up read-only user access in Scriptsure?

  5. On the Service Level tab, uncheck permissions to prescribe/refill
  6. Click Complete



How do I Enable/Disable Downloaded Medications?

To enable the display of external/downloaded medications in Scriptsure, open Scriptsure, click on your name/profile in the upper-right corner, and select settings to go to your agency's practice settings, From there, select Electronic Presciptions, and then enable/disable the Download Drug History toggle.


Is a Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP/PDMP) available?

Yes!  Scriptsure is integrated with Bamboo Health, formerly known as Appriss.  

Bamboo Health aggregates prescription from many different states into one report

Is there a cost?

Some states cover the cost of the program, others require the organization to pay.  When there is a cost, you may pay at the facility level or at the prescriber level.  

How does it work?  

  1. Contact Bamboo Health/Appriss to see if your state is covered in their PMP.  Refer to the following document for more information on contacting Bamboo Health/Appriss:
    Appriss Onboarding Doc.docx
    1. Sample Reports:
      PMP Gateway Data Sample Report.html
      Sample NarxCare Report - Appriss Health.html
  2. Once you have been provided credentials for Bamboo Health/Appriss, Scriptsure inputs them.
    1. You can contact Scriptsure Support directly at support@dawsystems.com or you can contact your Remarkable Health Support Specialist and they can contact Scriptsure on your behalf.
    2. Scriptsure will require 
      1. Your login Credentials
      2. The facility/practice address for the credentials
      3. The facility/practice NPI
    3. You will also need to confirm the NPI you set is also set on the corresponding Practice in Scriptsure.
      1. Go to https://platform.scriptsure.com/#/login to confirm the practice NPI
      2. If a facility does not have a facility NPI, the NPI of any prescriber can be used instead.
    4. Once ScriptSure has added the credentials, Users simply need to logout and back in to capture this update. 
    5. On the provider's next login, the providers, and any supporting users with permissions under a provider, will see the VIEW PMP REPORT button on each patient (see circled button below). The users can click this button and see the APPRISS (PMP REPORT) for the patient.


How do I add a new Practice?

When you need to add a new physical location/practice to Scriptsure, you must notify Remarkable Health.  This is because there are some additional pieces that Remarkable Health must set up in addition to what you can set up via the Scriptsure platform.

When you have a new physical location to add to Scriptsure, you will need to perform the following steps to add a Practice.

  1. Add the Facility to CT|One.
    1. To do this, go to Core → Facility and add the facility.
    2. NOTE:  In Scriptsure, Facilities must have a physical address, not a PO Box.
    3. Scriptsure does require a phone and fax number for each facility.  
    4. It is helpful if the agency notes the facility code displayed so Remarkable can look up corresponding information to complete the Practice setup.
  2. Notify Remarkable Health to add the Practice in Scriptsure.  
  3. Once RH has added the practice, then the agency Administrator must add Scriptsure users to the new Practice.
    1. Go to https://platform.scriptsure.com/#/login
    2. Login with the adminstrator email/password
    3. Click on Practices
    4. Click Edit on the Practice
    5. Click Next
    6. Click Add User to add user(s) to the Practice.


What is Cover My Meds and how does it work? Do you have prior authorizations?

Scriptsure integrates with Cover My Meds to provide information about Prior Authorizations.  

Scriptsure has provided the following documentation for Cover My Meds.

A complete user guide is also available from CoverMyMeds:  CoverMyMeds App User Guide.pdf

How do Prior Authorizations work?

Scriptsure has the ability to link to CoverMyMeds for prior authorizations.

When appropriate, an agency may get a prompt to enable prior authorizations.  The prompt looks like this:

If the integration is desired, click Begin Signup and you will be walked through prompts for setting it up.

If the integration is not desired, click Decline Signup.

If you are not sure, click the Close X or Skip.  You will receive the prompt again the next time you login to Scriptsure.

You can also Sign Up for Prior Authorizations by going to the Settings menu:


Prompts you may see in the Sign Up (RH NOTE:  Update this when we have documentation from Scriptsure!)



Read Terms

Scroll to bottom, check boxes and click Continue
Select when to be notified and which Prescribers you which to receive notifications about.  Click Update

Click OK to confirm the update

You are then shown the CoverMyMeds dashboard.


From this point, it is the same interface you are used to in CoverMyMeds.  

See Cover My Meds documentation (above) for additional information on using Cover My Meds.

Our CoverMyMeds Prior Authorization account is under the administrator.  Will it work for my Prescribers?

The CoverMyMeds interface in Scriptsure is the same interface CoverMyMeds provides outside of Scriptsure.

The administrator may go into CoverMyMeds as a supporting user and select the prescribers that they want to manage. They will need to have Prescribe Using access within Scriptsure to facilitate that.

See Cover My Meds documentation (above) for additional information on using Cover My Meds.



How do I use a custom Status?

Why use a Custom Status

A custom status gives you the ability to control how a medication displays when the medication is assigned the status.  You might use a custom status to color-code medication statuses, such as a PCP/External Medication or a Discharge Medication.  You might also use a custom status to prompt the user to supply a prescriber name, such as for a PCP/External Medication.

it means that the staff/user has not been added to the default practice for the agency.

  2. Click on the Search tab and search for ScriptSureDefaultFacility
  3. Note the flag value.  This is the code of the default facility.

  2. In the list of windows on the left, select wClientMedHistory
  3. Click Edit
  4. Require Password
    1. Yes = A password is required 
    2. No = No password required
  5. Access Password:  This password grants full access to the window - view and edit.  Enter text you wish for the password.
  6. View Only Password:  This password allows the staff to view the window, but not alter things on it.
  7. Click Save to save changes.
