ePrescribing allows doctors to electronically submit and track prescriptions. To access it, click the eScripts icon while a patient's chart is open. Pharmacies can be added to send prescriptions to electronically or via fax. When composing an Rx, providers can renew existing prescriptions or write new ones, adding details like quantity and refills. The prescription is then transmitted to the selected pharmacy after reviewing for drug interactions or other issues. Renewal requests will also come in electronically to process. The status of sent prescriptions can be checked.
