For patients, an important advantage of a prescription being sent electronically is that the message is already formatted in such a way that the pharmacy computer can assimilate the information for rapid dispensing. You also have the comfort of knowing that an accurate, legible prescription will arrive at the pharmacy, that won’t get lost, misplaced, destroyed or forgotten by the patient.

Plus, patients can avoid making one trip to the pharmacy to drop off a prescription and another to pick it up.
