Safer when doctors write bad words

With the electronic prescription program, there will be no deadly effects caused by " bad as the doctor ". The national e-drug initiative has just designed an online prescription system, and encourages pharmacists to use this program to avoid medication errors due to unknown handwritten prescriptions. obviously.

According to the report of the Institute of Medicine, every year more than 7,000 people die in the United States and at least 1.5 million people are adversely affected by medical errors.

With this program, we will not have to pay much for a doctor and do not need much training. This initiative is of interest to some of the leading technology companies, health care providers, and political agencies.

Allscripts Healthcare Solution is affiliated with Dell Computer to implement this program, in the hope that it can be widely used. Physicians in the US can register for this program at the website: http://www.nationalerx.com

It's ridiculous that the patient's life depends on whether the handwritten prescription is readable. But this handwritten paper prescription has existed for 200 years. And now this obsolescence is about to change.

If you are a pharmacist and when you encounter an unknown prescription, you only need to pick up the phone and call, but when you do so you will lose customer confidence.

Currently only one in five doctors in the United States electronically prescribes, the rest are still handwritten.
