Electronic Prescribing (ePrescribing)
A prescriber's ability to electronically generate send a complete, error-free and legible prescription directly to a pharmacy from the point-of-care.

E-prescribing has been described as the solution to improved patient safety. Errors are predominately due to hand-writing illegibility, wrong dosing, missed drug-drug or drug-allergy reactions.
