ePrescribing Cardiology EHR

ePrescribing Functionality

Join the paperless revolution while making the prescription-writing process easier and faster.

• Automatically download pharmacy information for over 55,000 eprescribing retail and mail order pharmacies.
• Submit new escripts as well as refills
• Verify the pharmacy's receipt of an escript.
• Receive electronic refill requests.
• Print or fax scripts to non-eprescribing pharmacies.

Real-Time Formulary Checking

Providers and nurses can review formulary information instantaneously. Search by coverage plan and compare the formulary values for multiple drugs all on one screen. Retrieval of formulary information is automatic and fast.

• Preferred payer drug levels: RxWriter's Prescription Wizard retrieves and displays 100% real-time formulary information for most dispensable drugs found in Medi-Span's Electronic Drug File. Preferred payer drug levels display based upon the coverage plan selected.
• Copay information: RxWriter displays required pharmacy type, flat copay amount, percent copay rate, first copay term (in the case of mixed terms), minimum copay, maximum copay, supply per copay, copay tier, and maximum copay tier for most drugs on either a Summary or a Drug-Specific basis. If the patient has both mail order and retail coverage, RxWriter lists the above copay details for each pharmacy type.
• Therapeutic alternatives: Review therapeutic alternatives for the source drug, including formulary information and copay information for each alternative drug.
• Payer alternatives: Review drugs that the payer has specifically noted as alternatives to the source drug, including formulary information and copay information for each alternative drug.

Patient Medication History Downloads

• Maintain patients' current medications and historical medications.
• Download a patient's medication history and import any historical medication provided by the Surescripts network, regardless of who prescribed it, into the patient's current medication list or historical medication list. Imported medications can then be used when screening new prescriptions for possible drug interactions.

Streamlined Prescription Refill Process

• Receive electronic refill requests directly from pharmacies and then deny or approve those requests easily and immediately with the Refill Request Wizard.
• Process manual refill requests either by selecting a current or historical medication or by having a nurse or other staff member log the patient's request, which you can then manage using the Refill Request Wizard.

Intuitive Drug Search Options

• Drug Lookup: Type in the name of the drug, and results returned will include brand names and generics.
• Indications: Search for drugs by medical condition (specifying Treatment Rank, if desired).
• Imprint and Image Lookup: Search for drugs based on physical characteristics of the drug (color, shape, imprint/text, scores, etc.).
• Favorites: Select a drug (as well as dosage, quantity, frequency, and prescription sig) based on a script previously specified as a favorite, on a per-provider basis.

Automatic Weekly Drug Database Updates

RxWriter receives automatic weekly updates pertaining to allergy and adverse reaction checks, drug dosage checks, imprints and images, drug indications, drug therapy, duplicate therapy, medical conditions, medication orders, and patient drug education.

Drug Screening

Review the following screenings on every drug before finalizing the script:

• Allergy screening,
• Drug-drug, drug-food, and drug-alcohol interactions,
• Prior adverse reactions,
• Duplicate therapy screening,
• Drug disease screening, and
• Dosage screening.

Tracking of Drug Allergies and Adverse Reactions

Enter allergies and/or adverse reactions to specific drugs, entire drug classes, or other major allergens such as peanuts, insect venoms, etc. RxWriter then uses those documented allergies and adverse reactions when screening drugs for the patient in the future.

User-Friendly Workflow and Interface

By design, the RxWriter interface is intuitive with pleasing and easy-to-understand screens. This is a stark comparison to its competitors, which are forced to feature extremely busy and repetitive screens because of the limitations of their design platforms.

• RxWriter interfaces with touch screen technology—and can even be optimized for touch screens by making selection options larger and easier to manipulate without a mouse.
• RxWriter follows a logical workflow for checking patients' allergies and adverse reactions, prescribing new medications, and reviewing patients' medication history.
• Select from recommended packaging options when prescribing dose packs, creams, ointments, tubes, etc.
• Review recommended medication orders from the Medication Order Management Database based on a patient's age, weight, and creatinine clearance.
