Deploying PrescribeIT

Interested in Learning More about PrescribeIT?

At the present time, the service is only available in select communities as we prepare the PrescribeITTM technology for larger scale rollout starting in 2018. Prescribers, pharmacists, and electronic medical record and pharmacy management system providers interested in implementing PrescribeITTM and in helping plan its deployment can complete a brief survey.

Prescribers

Safer Prescribing with Little Workflow Disruption

PrescribeITTM is as easy to use as printing prescriptions from your computer, but more secure and safer for patients. It’s integrated into EMR systems, which means there’s little change to medical clinic workflows.

Pharmacies

Reduce Transcription Errors

PrescribeITTM will help reduce transcription time and dispensing errors while giving pharmacists more time to spend with customers.

EMR Providers

Enable Secure Messaging Between Clinicians

PrescribeITTM enables electronic medical record users to seamlessly transmit prescriptions to pharmacies without requiring changes to their workflow. It also replaces fax and phone calls with secure messaging.

Pharmacy System Providers

Eliminate the Need for Entering Prescriptions

Pharmacy management systems (PMS) that are PrescribeITTM allow pharmacists to automatically receive prescriptions, eliminating the need for transcribing handwritten and auto-faxed prescriptions.
