Step 1: Does the customer have a My Health Record?
Once a customer is chosen in the Dispense form, an automatic search is initiated to identify if the customer has a My Health Record and the button becomes active for the following scenarios.
Note: Refer to the Dispense Form alerts to manage scenarios when the My Health Record button does not become active.
Advertised My Health Record exists for the customer
If a My Health Record is found for the customer the following message will be displayed. This means the customer has an advertised My Health Record and it is accessible for healthcare providers.
A My Health Record is not found for the customer
If a My Health Record is NOT found for the customer the following message will be displayed.
This may indicate either one of the following:
- The customer hasn’t advertised their My Health Record but the record may be accessible to healthcare providers with the option provided by the customer to gain access.
- A My Health Record does not exist for this customer.
Step 2: Does the Pharmacist have an Active HPI-I?
An active HPI-I is mandatory for viewing a customer’s My Health Record.
If not found, the Pharmacist field label will be displayed in red and the following message will be displayed.
If the My Health Record button is clicked when the chosen Pharmacist does not have a HPI-I, then the following message will be shown.
Step 3: Access the Record
A password can be set to access a patient’s My Health Record from Dispense.
Update the Password required for MyHR configuration:
From the Dispense Pro module:
1. Click the Maintenance menu and select D. Configuration.
The Configuration window is displayed.
2. Click the Dispense/Customer tab.
3. Check the Password required for MyHR checkbox. By default, this option is not selected.
4. Click OK to save.
Add a password to the Pharmacist record:
Note: The same password is used for My Health Record access and eScripts refer to Set a Pharmacist Password to learn how to set a password for a pharmacist.
Once a password has been set for the pharmacist, from the Dispense Form, a prompt for your password is displayed when accessing the My Health Record icon. The prompt will default to the current pharmacist set on the Dispense Form. To change the pharmacist, enter the new pharmacist code in the Code field.
If in incorrect password is entered then an error will display and access will be denied.
Depending on the Access control set by the customer to allow external parties to view their My Health Record, you may see any one of the following prompts.

Access when an Active My Health Record is not found
A status with “My Health Record not found” will display for either of the following reasons:
- The customer does not have a My Health Record.
- The customer hasn’t advertised their My Health Record.
In this case you may proceed with one of the options (General/Access code/Emergency Access) provided on the screen depending on the kind of access set by the customer on their My Health Record.
