e-Prescription Medical Software is Available for Free to Doctors

By Sheldon Needle

According to the National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative or NEPSI, prescription errors injure 1.7 million Americans every year, and take 7,000 lives.

If your practice has yet to invest in Medical Practice Management Software or Medical Billing software, you can get still get top of the line e-Prescription (electronic prescription) software for free by signing up with the NEPSI.  The National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative is dedicated to helping prevent medical errors caused by prescription errors. The software is based on ePrescribe from Allscripts ™, and is available to physicians for free by Allscripts and the other NEPSI sponsors.

Allscripts e-Prescription software does not have to be used in conjunction with other medical practice software.  It is a stand-alone web-based product.  It is encrypted and contains other safety and security precautions, and thus protects the privacy of doctors, and their patients’ data.  Allscripts ePrescribe™ provides a complete medication database to users, along with clinical decision support and reference material.
