Sometimes doctors are recorded on your dispensing system several times, for instance under slightly different names or at different addresses.
To merge the details from one doctor with another:
1. From the Prescriber Organiser, choose Buttons → Merge.
The Merge Prescribers screen is displayed.
2. In the Prescriber to Retain field, search for and select the patient that you want to keep in CCD.
3. In the Prescriber to Merge field, select the patient whose history or details are to be merged with the main patient’s.
4. To transfer the merging prescribers scripts with the retaining prescriber, tick the Transfer prescribed scripts checkbox.
5. To add extra information that the retaining prescriber doesn’t have, tick the Also add details that the retained prescriber doesn’t have checkbox.
6. Choose OK. The selected information is merged into the main prescriber and the second prescriber is deleted from your dispensing system.
NOTE
If you choose Merge with a prescriber selected in the record list, that prescriber is automatically selected as the main prescriber.
