Electronic Prescribing

The process of creating and transmitting prescriptions electronically using computer-based systems instead of handwritten prescriptions.

Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) is the process of creating and transmitting prescriptions electronically using computer-based systems instead of handwritten or printed prescriptions. This technology allows healthcare providers to write, send, and manage prescriptions digitally, improving accuracy, reducing medication errors, and streamlining the prescription workflow. Electronic prescribing systems integrate with electronic health records (EHRs) and pharmacy systems to enable seamless communication and real-time prescription processing.
