ePrescribing
According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), medication errors
cause more than 7,000 deaths per year.
While many believe that prescriptions are a subset or specific
kind of physician order, the interest in the healthcare industry
surrounding electronic prescribing is so intense that Allscripts Enterprise EHR offers electronic prescribing functionality either with or
without additional computerized physician order entry (CPOE)
features.
Enterprise EHR includes the most advanced ePrescribing capabilities
in industry, eliminating prescribing errors by ensuring prescription
legibility and automatically performing a complete drug utilization
review at the point of care. It increases the likelihood of
insurance plan compliance and reduces the number of pharmacy
callbacks, saving time for physicians and support staff. With
a Tablet PC or a PDA, physicians can prescribe and route prescriptions
directly from anywhere in the clinic. The entire process can
be faster than using a script pad-saving time and money for
physicians and their patients; and more importantly, saving
lives.
