Are you a doctor searching for better ways to treat your patients? Do you want to address administrative duties in an efficient and timely manner? E-prescribing software offers a viable solution. The benefits of electronic prescription have been aiding doctors for some time now while more doctors are realizing the benefits of such a system and implementing the software into their practices. What are the benefits of e-prescribing software? Read on to find out more.
Display of pertinent, patient information A patient’s prior and present information is important to the medical process. A doctor needs to know of their prior history and present state in order to treat them properly. Electronic prescribing software indicates if the patient is eligible for care according in regards to the patient’s insurance policies. Furthermore, the software makes doctors aware of patient-medication histories and pharmacy-fill histories.
Real-time support tools Doctors are certain as to how their prescribed medicines will influence the patient, but they also need to know how other medications and patients allergies will react while taking the doctor-prescribed medication. The software serves as a decision-support tool for doctors. In addition, the e-prescribing system can check for appropriate dosages and duplicate forms of therapy.
Efficient communication with pharmacies There are many parties who play a crucial part in the healthcare process. Doctors must maintain good communication with a patient’s pharmacy to ensure they are getting extraordinary care. Using the e-prescription software, a doctor can access renewal requests from pharmacies, renew medications for multiple patients, and write a prescription from an often-used ‘favorite’ list. Furthermore, a doctor can send electronic prescriptions to a patient’s pharmacy of choice (including mail-order pharmacies).
