e-prescriptions

Online medication orders

E-prescriptions are prescriptions transmitted electronically from a healthcare provider directly to a pharmacy, replacing handwritten or faxed paper prescriptions.

The system reduces errors from illegible handwriting, speeds up the process, and allows pharmacies to have medications ready before patients arrive: The doctor sent an e-prescription to my pharmacy while I was still in the exam room.
