Advanced e-Prescribing systems operate as standalone prescription writers

 


The use of Computerized Technologies to prescribe pharmaceuticals is known as e-Prescribing or electronic prescribing. Both software and hardware, such as personal computers, touch screens, and mobile and wireless devices, can be used as e-Prescribing tools. Prescribers, patients, and pharmacists all benefit from electronic prescribing, which improves patient medication adherence. It contains features such as dose verification and duplicate treatment notifications. Standard drug dictionaries are used by most e-prescribing software, such as Rcopia by DrFirst. By maintaining comprehensive information about each prescription, e-prescribing saves time for both patients and doctors.

Despite the numerous advantages that e-prescribing provides for both healthcare professionals and consumers, not all providers are adopting this method owing to considerations such as the high cost of healthcare IT and the need for qualified personnel. Installation and maintenance of e-Prescribing systems need fundamental technological infrastructure as well as training, which adds to the financial burden of their adoption.

According to Coherent Market Insights, The global e-Prescribing Market size was valued at US$ 779.9 million in 2017 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 18.5% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).

E-prescribing, often known as electronic prescribing, is a technology framework that allows physicians and other medical practitioners to electronically create and submit prescriptions to a participating pharmacy instead of utilising handwritten or faxed notes or calling in prescriptions. An e-prescribing system functions as an electronic reference guide at its most basic level. E-prescribing systems that are more advanced operate as standalone prescription writers. They can write and renew prescriptions for individual patients, manage drugs and access patient information, link to a pharmacy or other drug distribution site, and interface with an EMR system.

The US government's Electronic Prescribing Incentive Program, which reimburses a medical practise up to 2% of its Medicare Part B expenditures, requires the use of an approved e-prescribing system. Among other things, a competent e-prescribing system must be able to electronically send prescriptions, alert prescribers about probable adverse responses, and tell physicians about generic alternatives. Prescription mistakes caused by poor handwriting or unreadable faxes are also reduced with e-prescribing.
