E-Prescribing

With billions of prescriptions issued in the United States each year, medication errors are bound to occur due to illegible handwriting, incorrect dosages, or overlooked allergies or drug-drug reactions. However, although e-prescribing has been described as an easy-to-implement and easy-to-use solution to medication errors, many hospitals, practices, and doctors have yet to adopt e-prescribing software.

Medflow Complete includes e-prescribing software that features:

• Complete drug index with allergy, drug, and pregnancy review
• Comprehensive drug reference with patient leaflets in 18 languages
• Managed care formularies including Medicare Part D
• Managed care interface for all-doctor drug history
• Electronic prescription delivery via SureScripts

Improve patient safety and overall quality of care:

Medflow Complete’s e-prescribing software provides a warning and alert system that checks against the patient’s medical records for allergies, drug-drug interactions, drug appropriateness, contraindications, adverse reactions, and duplicate therapy at the point of prescribing to decrease the risk of medication errors. Additionally, our e-prescribing software eliminates the risk of incorrect dosing due to illegible handwriting, and can display medications that insurance companies prefer to save your patients money.

Reduce phone calls and call-backs to pharmacies; streamline the refill request and authorization process:

According to the American Medical Association, it is estimated that physician offices nationwide receive more than 150 million call-backs from pharmacies each year. One study of physician offices found that almost one third of staff time was spent handling pharmacy calls (source). E-prescribing can greatly reduce such reduce such calls by ensuring the legibility of the prescription, prescreening for approved medications and automating the renewal process. Refill authorization from the pharmacy can usually be generated in just one click through e-prescribing vendors – it’s that easy.
