E-prescribing:
Insurance companies generally support programs that allow physicians
to transmit prescriptions directly to local pharmacies. This cuts
medication error related to legibility, and it generates valuable
utilization data that is otherwise difficult to collect. Several
companies have developed e-prescribing systems. Drawbacks to e-prescribing
include,
- little financial benefit to the doctor
- no convenience benefit to the patient
- no insurance savings associated with increased compliance or
cost-conscious prescribing.
The PTC point-of-care dispensing system provides all the advantages
of e-prescribing along with significant patient/doctor/insurance
benefits not offered with these programs.
