What is Electronic Prescribing?
Electronic Prescribing (e-prescribing) revolutionizes traditional prescription workflows by enabling healthcare providers to digitally generate, transmit, and manage medication orders. This technology eliminates handwritten prescriptions—a leading cause of medication errors—while integrating with EHR systems for real-time access to patient drug histories, insurance formularies, and automated allergy/contraindication alerts. Pioneered under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 in the U.S., e-prescribing has become a cornerstone of healthcare digitization, reducing adverse drug events by up to 60% according to recent clinical studies.
Major platforms like Allscripts, DrFirst, and Practice Fusion offer both cloud-based and on-premise solutions, catering to hospitals (54% market share) and clinics (32% share). These systems are now mandated across U.S. Medicare programs and widely adopted in European countries like Sweden (98% penetration) and Estonia (100% e-prescription rate).
