the e-prescribing informational
DESCRIPTION
Electronic prescribing is more than generating a prescription on a computer and printing or faxing it to a pharmacy. E-prescribing must also provide functionality and workflow flexibility to work for both physicians and staff involved in the prescribing process. Rcopia®, the #1 most used and decorated standalone electronic prescription management system from DrFirst®, allows physicians to provide a higher level of patient safety and service, streamline back office business systems and save time and money through the efficiency of electronic medication orders, renewals and formulary checkingTRANSCRIPT

“E-prescribing is a powerful and cost-effective tool in the healthcare system's efforts to improve patient outcomes, and it can significantly streamline a physician’s practice while also providing the highest level of patient safety.
Writing a prescription electronically takes only seconds compared with traditional written or phoned-in prescriptions. With this time savings, a physician can spend more time with patients and get back to ‘being a Doctor First.’”
