E-Prescribing Market Overview :

E-Prescribing is a process of electrically generating the prescription order and transiting it directly to the pharmacy. E-Prescribing aids in improving accuracy, quality of care and emphasis on patient safety. Medical errors including medication error have raised serious concern about patient’s safety. These errors primarily occur due to wrong dosage, hand-writing illegibility, and others. Government bodies of various countries are expediting the adoption of e-prescribing and electronic medical records and forming a national health information infrastructure. In US, the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003, have gave momentum for the inclusion of electric prescribing to reduce medication errors and promoting the awareness of its benefits for enhancing the patient’s safety.
