Process a Sig for Translation

QS/1 interfaces with RxTran to print Sigs in different languages for patients with limited English proficiency. This software works outside of the QS/1 application and is a manual process for pharmacies. The pharmacy must access the RxTran website, log in and then initiate the process to translate the Sig and labels. Contact QS/1 Customer Support to have the web services gateway for RxTran configured.

To process a Sig for translation, follow the steps below:

  1. Access the Patient Record/Additional Information screen to select the language for Sig translation. Enter the new prescription. The language selected for the patient displays on the Drug and Dosage Information screen. Click to display the Select a Sig window. Select the Sig which most closely matches the entry you made. Click Ok.

  2. If a prescription requires a refill or a change in the Sig, this can be done from the Rx Summary screen. Click to go directly to the Select a Sig window. The English Sig entered during the prescription entry displays in RxTran, along with the selected language.

Click the Sig link on the Drug and Dosage Information screen or the Rx Summary screen to toggle between English and the language selected for translation.
