E-prescribing

Introduction

According to the largest e-destination network in the United States (SureScripts, a private, nonprofit business entity), rather than, Vert, similar156, 000 assigned to use some variant of electronic destination in 2009. Electronic appointment involves direct communication through computers in the offices of doctors in pharmacies (eg, community, or mail). Federal initiatives have stimulated an increase in electronic destination and is expected to take a more active role in managing the patient. Many believe electronic destination to increase productivity and improve patient safety.

While some argue for the potential for electronic destination in order to improve performance, research on the business rationale of efficiency, which can be obtained with an electronic destination is rare. Obstacles to successful implementation of electronic appointment software in the real practice of a physician office and include the cost of implementation (financial, personnel and time costs), lack of financial incentives, lack of standardized software, as well as the lack of systematic data on effectiveness. Indeed, in Sweden, the potential factor of success in implementation had the potential to save time physician. Nevertheless, recent studies have shown that E-prescribing takes longer than writing and e-appointment at the time of care takes more time than e-appointment at the offices / workstations. Studies documenting the effectiveness of the recipe process after the act of writing (eg, dealing with prior authorization by communicating with pharmacies regarding formulary changes, pulling charts) are reasonable. Understanding the perception of the effectiveness of e-appointment of those who have implemented the system can be useful. In the present study was designed to investigate the perceived effectiveness of e-use (which may or may not correlate with actual performance).

In the context of a large study of mixed-method evaluation of the proposed standards for the specific functions of electronic applications (eg, medication history, filling requests, cancel / change operations, and prior authorization), Bell collected qualitative and quantitative information from physician practices in six states, in various conditions (eg, solo practice HMO), each item with one of six different electronic appointment software solutions. This report focuses on the views of health professionals, "The role of electron-purpose applications to increase operational efficiency.

Body: A Discussion and Analysis

These positive reports might appear to conflict with parts of the systematic review conducted by Poissant and his colleagues workers.18 Nevertheless, studies in the systematic review were not only to the electronic destination, many were not the last, for example, the paper most descriptive experience in the UK was more than 20 years and was not included in the conclusions. Failure to demonstrate a consistent saving of time in the survey may be related to the observation of several features of EHR use at once, rather than simply assessing the specific impact in relation to electronic applications. For example, the point of care electronic system (EpicCare) for recording, displaying the results, the appointment and order entry, decision support, reminders and more time is needed for medical records than the paper record, but the time and cost saving on the electronic destination may not be ...
