Electronic Prescriptions
Electronic Prescription products integrate with healthcare providers' EHR systems or web interfaces, enabling them to generate and send prescriptions digitally. These tools are designed to enhance patient safety and streamline the prescribing process by performing checks for potential drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions, as well as verifying medication dosages. Once finalized, the prescriptions are electronically transmitted to pharmacies for dispensation, thereby reducing errors associated with handwritten prescriptions and improving overall efficiency in medication management.
