e-prescription

Computerized medication order

An e-prescription is a prescription transmitted electronically from a healthcare provider directly to a pharmacy, replacing handwritten or printed paper prescriptions.

The system reduces errors from illegible handwriting and allows faster processing: The doctor sent an e-prescription to my pharmacy before I even left the office.
