The Evaluation of the E-Prescribing Service in Primary Care The electronic prescription service enables transmission of prescriptions in the digital form between healthcare providers and pharmacies. The ​e-prescribing software has transformed the way prescription messages in primary care are being communicated. It moves the printed paper-based system to a convenient, secure digital format that includes legally valid digital signatures.
How does the modern e-prescribing system work? The innovative ​e-prescribing software allows general practice doctors to generate a computerized prescription for their patients and then send the same to an allocated pharmacy directly. This can be any pharmacy as chosen by the specific patient. This provides a flexible arrangement for the patient and for those who are on repeat prescriptions. Fewer visits are required to the medical practice for picking up the prescription. Paperless e-prescriptions drive down prescribing errors as well.
