Providers can create their own preferred drug list by navigating to Settings → My Preferences → Search list column → Drug after logging in. For clinics where all providers share the same specialty, a clinic-specific list of drug codes can be created from the Preferred Drug Master screen. This shared list eliminates the need to individually select common drug codes for every provider.
