2. EMGuidance will open in a new window with your script auto-populated with the client's profile information
3. Once you have created the prescription in EM Guidance, you can send it through SMS, email, or WhatsApp. The patient can also forward it to the pharmacy if it has not been sent directly.
To send a prescription to a pharmacy, you can search for the pharmacy name in the directory or add a new one if it is not listed.
Alternatively, you have the option to print the prescription and provide it directly to the patient.
All your scripts are saved in the client profile on both Bookem and EM Guidance for complete and accurate record keeping
You can start scripting once your TrustFactory AES certificate is issued, usually within 3 days
You can upgrade or downgrade your subscription anytime via the self-service portal in the subscriptions tab
Your subscription can be cancelled after 3 months by emailing script@emguidance.com
For added convenience, EM Guidance offers Bookem users a free 14-day trial without the AES feature, allowing you to test the integration before subscribing. You can view their pricing here.
