Too minimalist

We’ve just had our usual monthly batch of returned scripts from the PPD. We do try our best to remember to add manufacturer details/prices to the more obscure scripts, but it’s so annoying when we get scripts returned for really common drugs when there is just one brand, or for the creams/lotions that have been prescribed generically and the computer system hasn’t endorsed the brand.

Apparently the computer software that we use has two endorsement settings – one which lists absolutely every detail, and one which lists the bare minimum.

We were actually asked to switch the program to the minimum endorsement setting but now it appears rather too minimum and if we keep getting these types of returned scripts back (yes I know about the rules that the PPD has to follow) then we’ll have to switch the endorsement program back again.
