Benefits of E-Prescribing
E-prescribing represents an unprecedented opportunity to reduce healthcare costs and improve the safety and efficiency of a process relied upon by millions of patients every day.
- Reduce Healthcare Costs
- Improve Patient Safety
- Increase Efficiency
"Cleaner", more accurate prescriptions
Prescribers can confirm prescription benefit information
prior to sending an e-prescription, therefore there is no need for
the pharmacist to verify these details.
Improved patient safety
Prescribers can check for harmful drug interactions by
reviewing patient medication history at the point of care.
And because there is no handwriting for the pharmacist to
interpret, there is less potential for errors caused by
similar-sounding drug names.
Lower healthcare costs for everyone involved
E-prescribing via the Surescripts network makes it easier
for prescribers to select medications that are preferred by the
patient's health plan, that meet therapeutic guidelines and are
cost effective for the patient. E-prescribing also helps
drive down healthcare costs by reducing the potential for
medication errors.
