Electronic prescribing, also known as e-prescribing, is the process in which a prescription is sent by a prescriber electronically to any pharmacy by making use of software application and digital devices such as computers, smartphones, or tablets. The modern Electronic Prescription Software replaces prescriptions that were previously sent in handwriting or via fax.

The Process of E-Prescribing

Electronic Prescription Software involves computer-based generation, transfer, and filling of medical prescriptions. Upon seeing a patient, the healthcare provider can make use of this software using their digital device to electronically write and send the prescription to a pharmacy.

The Electronic Prescription Software routes this prescription through any hub and then to that pharmacy. Being capable of reaching the intended destination quickly, e-prescriptions are ready at the pharmacy when the patient arrives for collecting the medications.

Pharmacies may also send refill request electronically to the prescriber. Here, the pharmacy’s refill request is routed through the hub and then reaches the prescriber for his or her response on the software. The e-prescribing software enables prescribers to access patients’ formulary, eligibility, and prescription history data, this information is sent from the pharmacy benefit manager via the hub. Such data being available at the time of prescribing, providers are empowered to make the right decisions about medicines.
