eRX Software
Electronic Prescribing utilizes internet technology to safely and efficiently deliver and authorize prescriptions. Clear, concise, bi-directional communication can take place with the click of a mouse; making medication errors due to illegible handwriting and overlooked drug – drug / allergy interactions a thing of the past. E-Prescribing greatly reduces pharmacy calls for clarification of hand written prescriptions and allows for effortless refill requests from pharmacies.
