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.

Benefits of E-Prescribing-

1) Instant Notification of Allergies, Drug Interactions, Duplicate Therapies

2) Prevent Prescription Drug Errors

3) Easily Prescribe Controlled Substances

4) Monitor Controlled Substance Prescriptions

5) Reconcile Medication History Quickly

6) Meet Meaningful Use Requirements

7) Easily Track Prescription Fulfilment

8) Reduce Lost Prescriptions

9) Spend Less Time on Prescription Refill Requests 

10) Pharmacy Employees Spend Less Time Calling To Verify Orders

11) Easily Prescribe Medications That Are Covered By Insurance 

12) Improve Medication Adherence

13) Increase Patient Safety

14) Reduce Readmission Risk

Air Purifier works as a Sanitizer in the air which helps in reducing pollutants, allergens, and toxins

Image
  Air purifier   Within a confined area, an air purifier eliminates organic and inorganic impurities from the air. The clean air is sent out into the living space after these devices catch pollutants and particles in the air. Dust mites, mould spores, chemicals, poisons, and scents are all trapped by these filters. These gadgets are frequently touted as appropriate tools for asthmatic patients and others who suffer from airborne allergen allergies. An indoor Air purifier ensures the filtering of the air inside a closed room, which it catches and releases as clean air. If the windows may be opened, it functions in addition to the necessary natural ventilation. A contrast must be noted between a professional model and a residential device, since neither provides the same level of air treatment or overall performance. Pollens, fine particles PM2.5 and PM10, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), viruses, and germs are all effectively removed by a professional air purifier with a HEPA 13 or

Polyethylene Terephthalate Is A Non-Toxic Plastic, Mostly Used For Manufacturing Medical Devices

Image
  Polyethylene Terephthalate Polyethylene Terephthalate is an extremely common plastic. It is used in water bottles, clothing, baby wipes and many other items. The material is also a major component of many textiles. It can be melted or injected into molds to create a variety of shapes. It can also be used as a thin film that can protect products from light, heat and moisture. The material is a linear thermoplastic composed of repeating units of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It can be spun into fibers for synthetic fabrics, formed into containers for liquids and food, thermoformed into manufacturing parts, or combined with glass fiber to make engineering resins. Polyethylene Terephthalate is the most common plastic of the polyester family and is one of the most widely-used materials in the world. It is a strong, stiff plastic with good electrical insulating properties and excellent mechanical strength, transparency, gas barrier properties and stability over a wide temperat

Rising Prevalence of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Has Led To Increased Demand for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Surgical Devices

Image
  Benign prostatic hyperplasia surgical devices are used during the benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) surgery. During surgery, doctors remove portions of the prostate that are affecting the urine flow. Doctors can use minimally invasive procedures, such as rezum water vapor therapy, transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), and UroLift system. Mininally invasive surgeries performed under general anesthesia include laser surgery, transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP), and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). While invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopic and robotic prostatectomy and open surgery (open prostatectomy) is also performed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (also known as prostate gland enlargement). BPH is a common problem affecting the quality of life in about a third of men over the age of 50. Therefore, with the rise in aging population, the prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia is also increasing, which in turn is expected to increase the demand
