## Description

The prescribing support solution supports safe and cost-effective prescribing at the point of prescription and is fully integrated within every GP Practices' clinical system\. The prescribing support solution message functionality has built-in algorithms which are triggered at the point of prescription and appear when initiating medication for the first time; re-authorising individual medications; or when re-prescribing historic medication\. The prescribing support solution messages can be grouped as: • Best Practice messages \(providing national and local guidance\); • Cost Savings messages \(suggesting cost saving effective changes\); • Cost Avoidance messages \(suggesting not prescribing which may create a cost saving\); • Information Only messages \(often supply issues\); and • Formulary messages \(red and amber drugs\)\.
