Electronic Prescribing

Electronic prescribing, or e-prescribing, is a digital system that allows healthcare providers to create and send prescriptions directly to pharmacies using secure software. This process replaces traditional handwritten or printed prescriptions, improving accuracy and efficiency. It helps reduce errors caused by illegible handwriting and allows for better tracking of medications. Patients receive their prescriptions more quickly, often reducing wait times at pharmacies. Additionally, e-prescribing can include important information about drug interactions and allergies, helping to ensure safe and effective medication use. Overall, it streamlines the prescribing process and enhances patient care.
