When clicking Insert on the PMR to begin dispensing to a Patient, the system will always use the Default Scheme assigned to the patient's record.

To change the Default Scheme you need to:

• Navigate to the Patient's PMR

• Open the Edit (F3) window by clicking Edit (F3) on the PMR or by pressing (KEYBOARD: F3)

• In the Defaults section click the dropdown arrow beside Scheme

• So long as the patient has more than ONE (1) Scheme assigned to them you will be able to choose a different scheme in this dropdown

• Select the Scheme in the list you would like to use instead

• Click OK and your changes will be saved

From now on, when inserting new Dispenses into this patient's PMR, the newly chosen Default Scheme will be chosen.

• Additionally, when opening this patient's PMR, the Default Scheme will be shown at the top of the PMR. For public Schemes such as General Medical Services, Long Term Illness etc... the Default Scheme will carry out an automatic check against the HSE Scheme Checker web service and give you a traffic-light style colour indication of the validity of the Scheme information entered for the patient.
