Top Benefits of E- Prescription | Halemind EHR
If you are still prescribing in the old and traditional way, then you are doing it wrong. The time is ripe for you to invest in digitising your practice to escape from the nuances of the paper world.
ELECTRONIC PRESCRIBING
E-prescribing is tremendously growing and many physicians are switching to e-prescribing from the traditional pen paper prescription model because of its numerous benefits.
E-prescribing is an electronic way to generate prescriptions which reduces the errors due to illegible hand-writing, wrong dosing, missed drug-drug, drug-allergy reactions etc. With E-prescribing, providers can safely and efficiently manage patients’ medications. This improves patient safety, reduction and better management of medication costs, enhanced accuracy, efficiency and health care quality.
Providers can easily view the patient’s history and can easily manage the medications and drug refills. All the information will be automatically stored in the system and backed up, so it is easy to follow up and review in the future. The prescriptions also automatically get transferred to the pharmacy, electronically.
E-prescribing prevents the most prevalent illegible medication errors, miscommunications and reduces the confusion between various drugs and thereby prevents the risk of allergies. It provides easy drug interaction alerts and medical reconciliations and improves the overall patient satisfaction.
Here is why e-prescribing is more beneficial than traditional handwritten patient prescriptions:
- Reduces prescription errors
- Physicians can instantly view patient’s medication history
- Faster medication reconciliation process
- More drug alerts and notifications
- Streamlines and speeds up the patient refill’s requests and authorisation processes
- Lesser liability risks

- Reduces the number of patient re-visits
- Enhanced patient safety and quality of care
- Increased patient convenience

Many practices are now adapting the e-prescription to keep up to the technological advancements and also because of their numerous benefits over traditional methods. With this digital record keeping, which is very flexible to the practice needs, a higher level of performance is achieved with improved productivity and greater cash flow for the healthcare practices and more patient centric care for the patients.
