Modernizing Collaboration

Technology has changed most forms of communication. So why are you still using a fax machine? PrescribeIT® replaces missed phone calls and stray faxes with clinical communication — straight from your electronic medical record or pharmacy management system.

Seamless Integration

PrescribeIT® seamlessly integrates with existing EMRs and pharmacy management systems.

Fewer Medication-related Errors

PrescribeIT® reduces the need to transcribe handwritten, emailed and auto-faxed prescriptions.

Patient Choice of Pharmacy

Patients direct prescriptions to the pharmacy of their choice.
