Practice Director is currently being certified to submit electronic medication orders through the Surescripts network of pharmacies.  In addition to providing the ability to submit e-prescriptions, clients will have the ability to easily generate renewals, be alerted to drug-allergy and drug-drug conflicts as well as check formularies.

The American Medical Association discusses four key benefits of e-Prescribing to your Practice:

  1. Efficient access to your patient’s medication history information.
  2. Time savings and more productive use of your staff.
  3. Alerts and reminders that help you make better clinical decisions.
  4. Greater convenience for your patients.

In addition to practice benefits there are financial incentive benefits to electronically submitting medications.  Including the Medicare Electronic Prescribing (eRx) Incentive Program http://www.cms.gov/ERxIncentive/ and the Electronic Health Record Incentive Program http://www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms/.
