What is ePrescribing (electronic prescribing)?
ePrescribing makes sure that your prescriptions are clearly written and spelled and that the doses are correct. This makes sure the medication you are being prescribed is less likely to cause a reaction by negatively reacting to another drug, allergy or condition that you already have. ePrescribing is also faster as it can be sent electronically to the pharmacy for you. A major cause of medical errors is through medication misinformation. ePrescribing has been shown to greatly increase your safety.
