E -Prescribing or Electronic Prescribing is an eligible
service to electronically send an accurate and error free prescription to a
pharmacy by healthcare provider. It is a centralized, paperless system for
handling medical prescriptions. Instead
of writing prescription on paper, physician enters it directly into his system
and prescription travels from physician’s system to the pharmacy’s computer. E-
Prescribing is meant to reduce the risks linked with traditional script
writing. E-prescribing allows a physician to electronically transmit a prescription.
Electronic prescription handles
data issues and collects health information about the patients, including from
patient beginning through discharge. Electronic prescription also makes it
easier for physician to access a list of medications and enhance overall
medication management process.
