The Routes table allows for the setup of routes that are selected when utilizing the Home Medication Entry and New Prescription options. These routes display in a drop-down in both the Medication Reconciliation and Prescription Entry applications. Since the information on the patient's discharge medications will pull to the patient's Discharge Instructions report, these routes are typically entered in layman's terms. During setup, routes are linked with the pharmacy hospital frequency table to allow for an easy transition between Admission Reconciliation and Prescription Entry.
