electronic prescribing systems

Electronic prescribing systems (e-prescribing) are digital tools that allow healthcare providers to send prescriptions directly to pharmacies using computers or secure online platforms. This reduces errors caused by handwritten prescriptions, improves accuracy, and speeds up the process. Patients can often pick up their medication sooner, and providers can easily review a patient's medication history. E-prescribing enhances safety, efficiency, and coordination between doctors, pharmacists, and patients by replacing traditional paper prescriptions with a secure, electronic system.
