Concept information
Preferred term
e-prescribing
Definition
- E-prescribing or electronic prescribing systems include the ability of entering prescription data intended for ambulatory use into a computer system and then either printing a copy of the prescription or, as a preferred mechanism, communicating the data elements of the prescription directly to the filling pharmacy's computer system. These systems, whether in the hospital as part of an automated medication order entry process or in the ambulatory environment through the use of a handheld technology device, provide benefits to both clinicians and patients.
