2021: Electronic prescriptions: a new stage in the digitalization of healthcare

Electronic recipes have become a new stage in the digitalization of healthcare in Russia. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to significantly improve the quality of service and the provision of medicines to the population. To get a medicine in a pharmacy, you just need to show the pharmacist a QR code in a smartphone - this is very convenient.

Advantages of e-prescriptions over paper

• An electronic recipe cannot be lost, damaged or forged;
• Electronic prescriptions simplify the work of medical personnel in medical institutions, and also help reduce queues in pharmacies
• Centralized reliable storage of all prescriptions is provided;
• The work processes of pharmacies, polyclinics, hospitals and individual doctors are improving;

Writing paper prescriptions is fraught with the following errors:

• selection of an incorrect or inaccessible product, dosage form or dosage;
• duplication of therapy;
• skipping information;
• misinterpretation of the order due to illegible handwriting.

Failure to identify a drug allergy or drug interaction also increases the likelihood of a negative outcome. The electronic prescription software is equipped with an on-site decision support system that notifies the physician of possible errors in the prescription prior to its transmission. The program invites the doctor to check for the possible presence of allergies, confirm the accuracy of the dosage and identify the interaction between drugs before transferring the prescription to the patient.

Access to Recipe Records

Thanks to the mobile application "My Prescription," all doctor's appointments are stored in a smartphone. In the application, you can see the history of prescription, select analogues of drugs and issue orders in a convenient pharmacy. The recipe in electronic form is convenient to store and apply.

Electronic storage of prescription records is invaluable in situations where patient safety is at risk, such as during natural disasters or drug recalls. Drug recalls can be managed more effectively if the pharmacy has the ability to issue an electronic prescription, since the software allows pharmacists to track certain drugs for specific patients and speed up the delivery of relevant information.

Improve Workflow

The electronic recipe is convenient for pharmacies. It is assumed that electronic prescription statement allows you to simplify the process of processing prescriptions, because the pharmacist simply scans the QR code and dispenses the prescribed drug.

Improving safety, reducing waiting times, expanding pharmacy counseling services, and reducing drug costs all increase patient satisfaction with the services provided by the pharmacy, ultimately leading to patient retention and increased pharmacy revenue.

Other benefits

In addition to patients and pharmacies, medical organizations, employers and society as a whole benefit from electronic prescriptions. Medical institutions using electronic prescriptions can reduce the time to check handwritten orders.

Insurance companies point to cost savings due to better compliance with the form, reduced therapeutic duplication and error prevention. Employers benefit financially from lower health care costs and healthier employees. Reducing the number of handwritten orders and switching to electronic document management are designed to reduce the number of counterfeits of recipes.

As the technology improves, it is likely that most pharmacies that have not yet implemented electronic prescription statement will switch to it thanks to the numerous benefits it provides.
