Introducing New Navigation in iPrescribe: Peerson and Enhanced Pharmacy Messages

Purpose and Audience

Purpose: This article introduces the upcoming navigation update in iPrescribe, including expanded access to Peerson and enhanced pharmacy message details.

Audience: iPrescribe users.

What's changing

New bottom tab navigation

iPrescribe is moving to a bottom tab navigation layout. This replaces the previous hamburger-menu structure with tabs you can access from the bottom of your screen at any time.

The "More" tab

The "More" tab holds the same options that used to live in the hamburger menu, but it's now available from anywhere in the app instead of only from the home screen. You can also swipe back through flows as needed.

Peerson, available anywhere

Peerson is now accessible from any screen in the app. Previously, Peerson was only available on select screens. You can now chat with or ask Peerson questions no matter where you are in iPrescribe.

More detail on pharmacy messages

Pharmacy change request cards now show what was originally prescribed alongside what the pharmacy is requesting, giving you clearer context at a glance.

Meet Peerson

What Peerson is

Peerson is DrFirst's AI-powered clinical decision support tool, built into iPrescribe. It draws on a broad medical content library — journals, drug databases, and clinical guidelines — combined with generative AI. Peerson is designed to support, not replace, your own clinical judgment.

Asking a question without leaving your prescription

Because Peerson has its own tab, you can ask a clinical or prescribing question while a prescription is still in progress. Your prescription is preserved while you're in Peerson, so you can tap back to it and continue right where you left off.

More than just Q&A

Peerson also includes a Feed of curated clinical news and insights, a Weekly Dose personalized podcast episode, and Bookmarks for saving articles you want to revisit.

Ask Peerson AI from a patient's profile

You can also launch Peerson directly from a Patient Profile using the new "Ask Peerson AI" entry point in the profile header. This opens Peerson with that patient already loaded as context, so you don't have to set it up yourself.

What's staying the same

This update focuses on navigation only. The steps you already know for prescribing, managing requests, and other everyday tasks remain the same.

We may continue refining navigation based on your feedback. If you have questions about a specific feature after this update, your usual support channels are here to help.
