Personal Medication Record User Guide Version 1.0.0 September 13, 2017
What is the Personal Medication Record? DrFirst s Personal Medication Record (PMR) is a self-service, app-based portal for patients where they can view recently sent prescriptions, reconcile their active medications, and store healthcare-related images and information. Any changes to the medications will be reviewed by the provider before updating in DrFirst and ICANotes. As long as there is a valid mobile phone number in the patient record, DrFirst will send a text message to the patient at the time the prescriber signs off and sends the prescription. Your patients are invited to contact DrFirst through the application (preferred) but can also contact DrFirst by phone at (866) 263-6512 if needed. Please Note: This feature will not affect your ability to send prescriptions within Rcopia. Within DrFirst The Prescription Management section features a check box, Send Copy to Patient at. This is where providers can enter the mobile phone number for the patient if it is not already displayed. PMR User Guide Version 1.0.0 1
