Configure a medication product record as a controlled drug

A practice manager can configure a medication product record as a controlled drug. As a result, when staff dispense the medication, the output of the Controlled Drug report automatically shows that staff dispensed a controlled drug.

Make sure that you know the product identifier of the applicable controlled drug.
Note: In the United States, a controlled drug uses a National Drug Code (NDC) for the product identifier. The NDC has 11 numbers.
To do the configuration, do this procedure.
Note: Steps 6 thru 7 are only mandatory for organizations in the United States.
