ePrescription Statuses and Troubleshooting

Explains each ePrescription status and common reasons that ePrescriptions cannot be sent and how to troubleshoot them.

Table 1. ePrescription Statuses
Status	Description
`Send in progress`	The ePrescription is being sent to the ETP service.
`Send failed`	Transmission to the ETP service failed. If a response from eRx is not received within the default timeout period (60 seconds), the ePrescription times out, a cancellation request is immediately sent to eRx, and the ePrescription is marked as failed. Try to resend the ePrescription or print the prescription. ePrescriptions that are not successfully sent or printed are not saved when the consult is ended. Helix also runs a job every hour to send a cancellation request for any failed, uncancelled scripts within a previous one hour time window, from one hour ago; a job that runs at 3pm will look for scripts from 1pm - 2pm.
`Sent successfully`	The ePrescription was successfully sent to the ETP service.
`Resent successfully`	The ePrescription was successfully reissued.
