Electronically prescribing all medications reduces steps and saves time in your day. This includes everything from antifungals, antibiotics and pain meds to controlled substances. Here are five ways cloud-based e-Prescribing software can streamline the process:

1. Access a patient’s FULL prescription history - Access all prescriptions dispensed at any U.S. pharmacy. e-Prescribing software often allows you to see every prescription dispensed over at least the past twelve months.
2. Integrate with the Virginia PMP - Check a patient’s narcotic prescription history with just one or two clicks. When your e-Prescribing software integrates with your practice management system, your patient prescription history checks can be accomplished quickly, in just a few steps. Compare that to the nearly 50 clicks it often takes to verify directly through a state database.
3. Rapidly-search drug information - Search built-in drug directories for immediate brand or generic medications, dosing options, contraindications and discontinued meds reducing medication errors and adverse drug events.
4. e-Prescribe on any device - Write, approve and send from any computer, laptop, tablet or phone. Electronic prescribing reduces steps in your daily workflow, speeding up the entire process.
5. e-Prescribe from anywhere - Provide care in minutes whether you’re at work or outside of the office. A big benefit of e-Prescribing is the flexibility it gives you. Eliminate reliance on paper, phone and fax by streamlining your workflow into just one manageable method for all prescriptions.
