COVID-19 has been faced with a lot of clinical problems, especially in individuals at high risk of complications when the virus is acquired. Many of these patients even have forgotten that chronic health issues like heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure are essential because they worry that they can visit a clinic near coronavirus sufferers. The appropriate technology can increase the capacity of your clinic to provide the needed treatment without exposing patients to more danger. E-prescribing is one of the ways in which telehealth may be used for improved treatment.
What is E-Prescribe Software?
E-prescription is a telemedicine service that allows patients to seek refills of medications through a portal or other on-line pharmacy services. This can remove the requirement to go to a doctor’s office before re-consumption for many people. The physician and staff members can evaluate the medical details of the patient and the refill application and electronically transmit the order for pick-up or mail to the relevant pharmacy.
Benefits for High-Risk Patients
Patients who can quickly receive a prescription refill via an online web portal will not feel like they need to arrange a doctor’s visit. You can also have their important medicines filled in on time, even if during regular business hours they can’t reach your office to call them for refilling (a common method for medication refills in many clinics). You can send refill drugs to a drugstore for pickup or drive-thru, or even mail-order drugstores, which safeguard patients from high-risk interaction.
When e-prescriptions are mixed with other technologies, such as telemedicine, even for patients who need appointments or checks prior to re-completion of their medication it can decrease the need for individual clinical trips.
Other Benefits for Your Clinic and Staff
Electronic prescription also offers many benefits for employees and doctors, in addition to the benefits it offers to their patients. It lowers your schedule of patient visits for something as basic as refilling the prescription and gives you time to treat others in need of immediate care or to see more new patients in your clinic.
It also decreases employees’ risk of exposure if fewer individuals arrive for electronically possible appointments. Finally, the number of telephone calls your staff needs to manage prescription refills will be reduced and you may quickly and simply transmit orders without telephone tags to the nearest pharmacy.
