# Transfer Inpatient Medications to Outpatient

You can transfer inpatient medications to outpatient medications with CPRS. CPRS will tell you if the medication cannot be changed to an outpatient medication.

Because of the differences, you will go through each order and make the necessary changes.

To transfer an inpatient medication order to an outpatient medication order, use these steps:

1. Select the Meds tab.

2. Select the inpatient medications you want to transfer. Hold down the CTRL key to select more than one medication. Hold down the SHIFT key and click on the first and last medications to select a range.

3. Select Action | Transfer to Outpatient .

CPRS displays the Copy Medication Orders dialog.

4. If you would like to release the copied order(s) immediately, check the "Released copied orders immediately" option. If you would like to delay the release of the copied order(s), select one of the options in the "Delay release of copied orders until" group.

5. Select OK .

The Medication Order dialog displays.

6. Enter the necessary information in the Medication Order dialog for the first order and click Accept .

7. Repeat Step 6 as needed for the selected medications.

Note: When finished, you can sign the orders now or wait until later.
