Electronic prescribing or E-Prescribing (e-Rx) is electronic transmission of prescriptions from physician to pharmacists using computer and other mobile devices, such as cell phone and tablets. E-Prescribing system has replaced the phone, paper and fax based method of prescription. The system improves patient safety by reducing prescribing errors due to various reasons, such as illegible handwriting and ambiguous abbreviations. It also reduces healthcare costs over the paper based prescription systems. It permits the physician and other healthcare professionals to regenerate a new prescription, when any prescription error occurs during pharmacy operation.
