E-prescribing and EPCS without leaving the chart

DoseSpot sits in the patient chart and the visit, so prescriptions go to the pharmacy without a second login. Staff queue them for a prescriber, and refill requests and pharmacy alerts land in Ona.

What it does

Prescribing that stays tied to the chart.

01

Set up once, prescribe from any chart.

An Owner or Admin provisions the clinic in Settings → DoseSpot, links clinicians as prescribers and staff as proxies, and adds DEA numbers. DoseSpot then opens from any patient chart or visit, with no second login.

  • Each member's NPI and DoseSpot access listed
  • Registration ready or failed, told in the bell
  • EPCS identity proofing happens with DoseSpot

02

The pharmacy's replies, in your bell.

Refill and change requests, prescriptions that didn't reach the pharmacy, ones not picked up and prior authorization updates arrive in Ona's notification bell. You answer them in DoseSpot.

  • A second alert before a refill request expires
  • Requests needing a patient match flagged
  • Each of the 11 alerts switchable per person

03

Patients choose their pharmacies.

Each patient keeps up to five pharmacies from DoseSpot's directory, preferred first. They set them in the portal or as they set up, your team can change them in the chart, and every one is ready in DoseSpot.

  • Search by name and ZIP code
  • Mail order, 24 hours or compounding shown
  • Make preferred with one click
Two ways

Prescribers send. Staff prepare.

Prescriber

Write it and send it.

For clinicians who sign and send prescriptions under their own NPI.

Open DoseSpot from the patient chart or the visit, write the prescription and send it. Controlled substances add DoseSpot's EPCS two-factor step at signing.

  • Ona sends the patient's details and pharmacies first
  • DEA numbers kept in Settings → DoseSpot
  • Told when prescriptions are queued for you
Proxy

Prepare it for a prescriber.

For medical assistants and nurses preparing prescriptions for a clinician.

A proxy picks whose queue to write into, with that prescriber's name on screen the whole time. The prescriber reviews and sends.

  • Each staff member gets their own proxy account
  • Can't sign, send or prescribe controlled substances
  • Hears when a queued prescription is sent or deleted
How it works

From setup to the pharmacy and back.

  1. Step 01

    Set up DoseSpot once

    An Owner or Admin provisions the clinic in Settings → DoseSpot, links prescribers and proxies, and adds DEA numbers for anyone prescribing controlled substances.

  2. Step 02

    Open DoseSpot from the patient

    In the patient chart or an open visit, choose DoseSpot under Dispensary. Ona sends the patient's details and pharmacies first, and names any field DoseSpot still needs.

  3. Step 03

    Write it, or queue it

    Prescribers write and send in DoseSpot, with its EPCS two-factor step for controlled substances. A proxy writes into a prescriber's queue, and that prescriber is notified.

  4. Step 04

    The chart catches up

    Once DoseSpot reports a prescription sent, it lands on the patient's medication list. Medications and allergies changed in DoseSpot come back when you close it.

  5. Step 05

    Pharmacy news comes to you

    Refill and change requests, failed transmissions, prescriptions not picked up and prior authorization outcomes arrive in Ona's notification bell. You respond in DoseSpot.

Everything included

What comes back into Ona.

  • Sent prescriptions on the chart

    Once DoseSpot reports a prescription sent, faxed or printed, it appears on the patient's medication list beside everything else you've charted.

  • Allergies and medications in step

    Allergies sync both ways, medications typed into DoseSpot come back when you close it, and charted supplements show in DoseSpot as self-reported.

  • Height and weight from vitals

    DoseSpot gets the patient's latest height and weight from their vitals, not only what's typed on the profile.

  • Missing details named

    If DoseSpot needs something the profile lacks, Ona lists exactly which fields and opens the profile to fix them.

  • Prescribe from the visit

    DoseSpot sits in the visit's own sidebar too, so a clinician prescribes without leaving the visit, telehealth included.

  • A pharmacy before the first visit

    Set Pharmacy to Ask or Require under Settings → Patient Profile, and new patients add one as they set up or book online.

FAQ

E-Prescribing, answered.

What does e-prescribing cost?

The e-prescribing add-on is $45 per prescribing practitioner per month. EPCS for controlled substances is a further $25 per prescribing practitioner on top of it.

Does Ona support EPCS for controlled substances?

Yes, as an add-on to e-prescribing. Each prescriber needs a DEA registration, which an Owner or Admin adds in Settings → DoseSpot. Identity proofing and two-factor setup happen with DoseSpot, and Ona tells the prescriber and admins when controlled-substance prescribing is ready or a step fails.

How do pharmacy refill requests work?

Refill requests arrive in Ona's notification bell, with a second alert when one is about to expire within a day. You approve or deny them in DoseSpot. Ona doesn't have a separate refill queue of its own.

Which pharmacies can I send electronic prescriptions to?

Any pharmacy in DoseSpot's directory. Search by name and ZIP code or by NCPDP ID, and each result shows what it offers, such as mail order, 24 hours, specialty, compounding or controlled substances. Each patient keeps up to five, preferred first.

Does Ona check for drug interactions and allergies?

Ona doesn't run its own interaction checks. It keeps the patient's allergies, medications and supplements in step with DoseSpot, so they're in front of you while you prescribe. Clinical judgement stays with the prescriber.

Do sent prescriptions show up on the patient's chart?

Yes. Once DoseSpot reports a prescription sent, faxed or printed, it appears on the medication list. DoseSpot's medication history (what the patient has filled elsewhere) is available inside DoseSpot but isn't copied into the chart.

Does DoseSpot need a separate login?

No. DoseSpot opens inside the patient chart and the visit for each linked prescriber or proxy, with no second login. EPCS identity proofing and two-factor setup are done once with DoseSpot.
