Enhancing the Abilities of Healthcare SectorE-prescription software is a digital technology framework that empowers physicians and health practices to automate medication prescribing processes. Through e-prescribing solutions, healthcare providers send prescriptions directly to their pharmacy partners instead of doing it manually. E-prescription software offers more than just medicines. At OSP, we can custom-built e-prescription software solutions that will improve medication management workflows, reduce errors and improve care outcomes. So, it’s a win-win situation for pharmacies and healthcare practices, as both parties will be benefitted.
Patient pre-authorization is a crucial step in any practice management system. Similarly, in e-prescribing applications, patient pre-authorization is essential to ensure a patient’s eligibility for specific medicines. As per the healthcare protocols, the pharmacy benefit management system decides which prescription drugs will be covered by insurance.
So, we can tailor e-prescribing solutions with the patient pre-authorization feature. Besides, we can also ensure other details of patients, such as their details, insurance information, and past medical history will be incorporated into the software. Integrating these into the e-prescribing software will help doctors and pharmacies to identify patients’ eligibility and tolerance for different prescription drugs. With this knowledge, doctors and pharmacists can prescribe more effective medicines.
Intuitive prescription management in electronic prescription software can change the process of specifying drugs, their dosages, and frequencies more effectively. HealthCare providers will benefit the most from this feature. As we understand this, we can incorporate this feature into an e-prescribing system.
Adding this feature, we can enable physicians to create new prescriptions and initiate the next processes without much hassle. Physicians can send it directly to the pharmacy or save it for further evaluation. Besides, we can also offer physicians an alternate list of drugs in case the prescribed medicines aren’t available or unsuitable for patients. Overall, the database of prescriptions will also help physicians to decide on future medications.
Prescription records management is a much-needed component in prescribing software. These records help physicians and pharmacists to keep a tab on patients’ complete medication charts. Similar to medical records management, this feature can prove helpful for all stakeholders if added to e-prescription software applications. As we know that having an intuitive e-prescribe record database is helpful, we assure you that we can design one efficiently.
We can offer electronic prescriptions for providers with this records management feature to ensure secure and efficient storage of prescription data. The records will also include doctors’ notes, patients’ follow-up periods, drug dosages and frequencies, and many other clinical details. Besides, the software can also keep records of medications’ availability.
Prescription order management is significant in tracking medications that doctors create and submit to the pharmacy. We know how important it’s to monitor medicines today, as it will help providers to boost their patient experience and outcomes. So, we can engineer e-prescribing software solutions integrated with the order management feature.
We can ensure that with this feature, tracking prescriptions from doctors to pharmacy to patients will get simplified. Besides, the software solution can also ensure whether the pharmacy accepts the orders. Further, we can even enable access to patients so that they can also review their prescribed medications, new additions, or refills. Above all, we can ensure that physicians can track and control medications, even patients-wise.
When it comes to managing medications, patients often miss doses or refills and especially chronically ill patients. As providers have to bear the impact of such misses, e-prescription software solution developers can prevent it through the alerts and notifications feature. We can incorporate this alert and notification feature when custom-build the e-prescribe software.
We can offer doctors the ability to send alerts to patients to remind them about their refills, dosage, newly added drugs, and so on. Whenever the physician changes any medicine or dosage, they can push one click to send alerts to patients. Through this feature, physicians will cut down the number of medication errors and boost patients’ care outcomes.
Since integrated healthcare systems are extremely beneficial, e-prescribing solutions such as electronic health records integration must also ensure this. This integration is much needed in today’s healthcare setting. Integrating e-prescription software with EHR/EMR systems will give providers a single database to store all relevant medical information related to patients.
We can build e-prescription software integrated with the EHR database to verify patients’ credentials and medical history automatically. This integration can prevent conflicting drug interactions as per patients’ medical histories. Also, physicians issuing prescriptions can get updated to the EHR systems through healthcare automation. So, physicians don’t need to enter the prescription information into the EHR separately. We can assure you that this integration will save time and effectively manage prescription records.
As we can tailor robust e-prescriptions software solutions, we assure you of high patient safety. The software can easily identify conflicting drug interactions, allergies, medication intolerances, and side effects. Besides, it can also reduce prescription errors, as manual prescribing isn’t involved. So, from preventing unsafe prescribing to getting safer alternatives, e-prescription software solutions ensure patients’ safety in every way possible.
In today’s healthcare management, patient outcomes are crucial to understanding the effectiveness of healthcare analytics solutions. As e-prescription solutions can identify medical mistakes and prevents them effectively, there are high chances of better patient outcomes. OSP can build e-prescribing solutions that can enable pharmacists and providers to eliminate uncertainty and cut down the chance of medical errors. It will also automatically boost the care results of each patient.
Since the chances of lost and missing prescriptions are high when done manually, e-prescription applications resolve this issue effectively. We can develop e-prescription systems that can track prescriptions to avoid misplacements. Tracking prescriptions can help in population health management, ensures better outcomes, and even empowers doctors and pharmacists to timely refill them. If a prescription gets lost, the software will have copies in its database.

Electronic prescriptions are a dependable, convenient, and efficient link between healthcare professionals, pharmacies, patients, and health insurers. E-Prescribing software, often called eRx software, digitizes prescriptions and is essential in eHealth. E-prescription systems can be integrated with EHR solutions to comprehensively understand each patient’s medication history and health parameters without re-examining them for allergies or potential drug intolerances. The key functionalities of e-prescribing software are to access and review prescriptions, provide medication alternatives or equivalents, create new prescriptions, track the creation process to submission, and prevent adverse drug interactions.
One of the key advantages of the e-Prescription program is that it lists all of the patient’s previous prescription data with a single click. The system notifies prescribers of allergies, probable drug interactions, pregnancy, and other concerns suggesting that specific drug use is inappropriate for therapy. This functionality also saves significant time when reconciling prescription lists or manually committing clinical information. Furthermore, with the prescription software in place, patients no longer need to make an appointment with their physicians for consultation or refill prescriptions. Another benefit of e-prescribing software is the remote ordering of medicines. E-prescription software eliminates the need for patients to visit a pharmacy physically. Instead, a courier or drone can bring their prescription medications directly to their houses.
The key features that every e-Prescribing software must have are:
To secure the transfer of patient data, e-prescription software uses encryption algorithms. This means that the data is transformed into a secure code during transmission, rendering it incomprehensible to unauthorized parties. It also complies with relevant privacy rules such as HIPAA. Implementing privacy and security controls, conducting risk assessments, and offering users proper data protection and privacy training all contribute to compliance. Additionally, strong user authentication procedures are required for e-prescription systems. This usually entails using distinct usernames and passwords and extra authentication elements such as two-factor authentication (2FA) or biometric verification. User authentication protects the software from unauthorized access and guarantees that only authorized persons can access patient information.
E-prescription software identifies potential hazardous drug interactions in advance, ensuring no conflicting or excessive prescriptions are issued. This is a significant benefit for healthcare providers. It also assists doctors in identifying all reported allergies, pharmaceutical intolerances, and severe reactions/side effects that a single patient has ever experienced in their lifetime. Furthermore, the software benefits pharmacists by reducing errors. Since e-prescriptions do not require handwriting, there will be fewer errors. So, from automated prescription generation and refills to accessing patients’ medical histories, these features of e-prescription software benefit providers and pharmacists in the ways mentioned above.
E-prescribing allows prescribers to access larger medication history databases via electronic prescription data communication link organizations. And to promote patient safety, such organizations electronically route patient medication history and pharmacy benefit information to physicians at their offices and hospitals. This function saves the prescriber time and effort while also lowering the frequency of medication errors or adverse occurrences. E-prescribing also dramatically minimizes errors caused by illegible physician handwriting. Both access to patients’ medical history and the elimination of handwritten prescriptions minimizes medication errors and ultimately improves patient safety.
Even though it is not mandated by law, multi-factor authentication should be used when managing sensitive patient information. In the United States, the DEA requires that all eRx providers use two-factor authentication to authorize prescribers. Besides, a reporting option is also available, which allows doctors and pharmacies to assess and record a patient’s eligibility for controlled medication. Further, digital signatures can also be used to validate prescriptions at pickup time. A secure contact route, such as a live chat or phone option, can connect pharmacists to physicians if clarification is required. It is more efficient than a call made outside of the system. HIPAA and GDPR-compliant backend services, particularly for data storage.
Yes, electronic prior authorization (ePA) for pharmaceuticals is supported by several e-prescription software systems. Electronic Prior Authorization simplifies obtaining insurance provider permission for prescribed prescriptions. Rather than depending on paper-based procedures, e-prescription software allows healthcare providers to electronically submit prior authorization requests, get responses, and follow the request’s status, all within the digital system.
E-Prescribing is the process of electronically generating and sending a prescription order. It allows physicians and other medical practitioners to send an electronic prescription directly from the point of service to a pharmacy. While no handwriting or calling is involved in prescriptions, e-Prescribing or electronic prescribing improves accuracy, patient safety, and quality of care. The electronic prescription software is designed to offer convenience, from delivering several prescriptions in a single order to two-click prescription refills. Patients have the ease and flexibility they need to rapidly obtain their drugs thanks to e-Prescription, which they can use from any internet-connected device to connect with various pharmacies.
The perfect example of electronic prescribing is a healthcare provider assessing a patient during a consultation. Then using electronic prescription software, the provider selects the essential medication from a digital database integrated into the software. The provider enters the medication details like dosage and other instructions. After the automated check, the software sends the prescription to the pharmacists. The pharmacists’ system assesses the prescription, processes it, and prepares the medication for patients. Finally, the patient can collect his medication by visiting the pharmacy or else get it delivered. This whole process defines the working of electronic prescription software.
