Electronic prescribing (also known as e-prescribing) is the process of using digital means to prescribe medication directly to pharmacies and other eligible providers. This process allows healthcare providers to quickly and easily send accurate, legible, and secure prescriptions electronically, which can improve patient safety and reduce medication errors. Electronic prescribing also simplifies the prescription refill process for both patients and physicians by eliminating paperwork, streamlining communication between stakeholders, and reducing time spent in clinical settings.
