ePrescription

Write prescriptions with greater speed, accuracy and safety

PatientKeeper ePrescription (powered by DrFirst) allows physicians to write and send complete, accurate prescriptions– from a PC with web browser or Smartphone. Automatically check for drug allergies, drug-to-drug interactions, and formulary compliance. 

Ensure patient safety

The prescription writing process is plagued with potential errors – from illegible handwriting, formulary errors, dosage questions, and allergy/interaction risks. The PatientKeeper electronic prescription application brings accuracy, speed and compliance to the entire prescribing process:

• Medication Lists –

  See what medications your patient has been prescribed – even by physicians not affiliated with your practice.

• Integrated Drug Reference –

  Access the fully integrated Epocrates® drug reference system to access complete information on all medications with a few clicks.

• Allergy and Drug-Drug Interaction Checks –

  Check the prescription against your patient’s known allergies and against any potential drug-drug interactions.

• Faster Data Entry –

  Eliminate unnecessary data entry by pre-populating your prescription with patient information to ensure you send a complete prescription every time.

• Quick Access to Frequently Prescribed Medications –

  Utilize fast, one-click access to frequently prescribed medications in common dosages.

• Better Formulary Compliance –

  Know which drugs are covered at what level by their formularies. Integration with RxHub enables ePrescription to compare medication with the patient’s insurance coverage.

• Send Scripts Many Ways –

  Submit electronically through the SureScripts network to more than 85 percent of U.S. pharmacies. Prescriptions are automatically faxed, and/or printed to ensure the fastest, most convenient delivery of the prescription to the patient’s selected pharmacy.

• Pharmacy History –

  Record the patient’s preferred pharmacy, making writing subsequent prescriptions that much easier.

• Convenience and Flexibility –

  ePrescription uses either a Web browser or your mobile device – there’s no need to phone or fax prescriptions. You can process refills in seconds.

• Improved legibility  –

  Use menu-driven selections and electronic transmission to eliminate legibility issues. ePrescription helps with JCAHO compliance because it doesn't use unaccepted abbreviations.

Platform you can build on

PatientKeeper ePrescription is a part of the PatientKeeper suite of clinical applications that improves physician workflow without replacing existing IT systems. Built on an extensible platform, other PatientKeeper applications can easily be added to connect the healthcare community with access to referring physicians, ambulatory order entry, remote access to clinical results, and the ability to electronically capture charges.
