Benefits of E-Prescribing

About

By using an electronic medical record (EMR) or e-prescribing software certified to connect to the Surescripts network, practices can experience dramatic efficiency gains and enhanced patient safety.
 
Improve the Safety and Accuracy of the Prescribing Process.

      Prescription Benefit services allow easy selection of medications that are preferred by the patient's health plan, that meet therapeutic guidelines and are cost effective for the patient.
 
      Prescription History services allow prescribers to access critically important information on their patient's current and past medications from pharmacy benefit managers and community pharmacies. This helps inform prescribers about potential medication issues with their patients and can improve safety and quality.
 
      Prescription Routing services allow legible new prescriptions to be sent directly to the computer at the pharmacy of the patient's choice. Renewal authorization requests can be sent directly to the practice computer. Prescribers can then review and respond to pending requests with a few keystrokes.
 
      Enhance Productivity. The reduction in pharmacy faxes and phone calls associated with refill requests, legibility issues, and drug incompatibility or ineligibility problems provides physicians and their staffs with more time to devote to patient care or other reimbursable activities.
