Allscripts ePrescribe

Allscripts ePrescribeTM is a web-based, standalone e-prescribing application that can be downloaded in minutes while providing a high-performance bridge to a full EHR in the future.

It can be either:

• purchased by hospitals and managed care organizations as an enterprise solution for physicians in the community or
• it can be accessed by physicians for free through the National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative (NEPSI™) as a stand-alone solution

Allscripts is the only EHR vendor that provides stand-alone e-prescribing as an option for physicians as a cost-effective “on-ramp” to a full EHR solution. It is a qualified e-prescribing solution, permitting physicians to take advantage of the new Medicare financial incentive program beginning January 2009.
