Declining an NMS

 

There are two ways to decline an NMS:

  • from the NMS Manager
  • from the NMS Notification window

Declining an NMS from the NMS Manager

NMS reviews cannot be declined after the Patient Engagement has been completed.

  1. To begin, open the NMS Manager from the ProScript Connect Main Screen by clicking the [ProScript Connect] menu button and selecting the NMS Manager menu item.

  1. From the General tab, highlight the NMS record you want to decline and select the [F2 – Decline NMS] button. The Decline NMS window displays.

  1. The Pharmacist Details section is populated based on the pharmacist details saved on the NMS Notification. This can be edited using the [F5 – Select Pharmacist] button, if required.
  2. Add any notes if applicable, and select the [F10 – Decline NMS] button. The NMS record is moved to the Escaped/Declined tab of the NMS Manager where you can remove the NMS record altogether, or reinstate it to resume the process.

Declining an NMS from the NMS Notification

  1. The NMS Notification window automatically displays as a pop-up window when you dispense and endorse an item that belongs to either one of the four target groups.

  1. From the NMS Notification window, select the [F5 – Select Pharmacist] button to select an accredited NMS pharmacist.
  2. Enter notes if required and select the [F2 – Decline NMS] button. The NMS record is moved to the Escaped/Declined tab of the NMS Manager where you can remove the NMS record altogether, or reinstate it to resume the process.
