Electronic Prescribing Software

Electronically prescribe medications directly through our SaaS-based digital healthcare software.

How Does ePrescribing Work?

Electronic prescribing (ePrescribing) is a vital component of our digital healthcare software, replacing the traditional paper prescription process with an efficient, electronic system.

Our cutting-edge solution allows hospital clinicians and those in other healthcare settings to transmit prescriptions directly to pharmacies, ensuring accuracy, convenience, and enhanced patient care.

STUDY RESULTS: Reduction in Prescribing Errors in Hospital Settings

In a September 2022 report based on a study conducted in four hospitals by the National Institute for Health and Care Research in Southampton (UK).

Researchers conducted 242 interviews, 32.5 hours of observations, and collected 55 documents across six case studies, focusing on the implementation of ePrescribing systems.

The systems, once fully implemented, significantly reduced clinically important prescribing errors, from 5.0% to 4.0% overall.
