Ambulatory Care Setting Analysis
I choose to do my viewpoint on a ambulatory care setting. E- prescribing is in which the prescriber enters a prescription into a computer that communicates directly to the computer at the pharmacy. Here are my five reasons why I think e- prescribing is beneficial.
1. It eliminates the written prescription form, this reduces the errors and patient safety by not being able to read the prescription the other person has wrote.
2. Convenience for patients, instead of the patient taking the time to take the prescription to the pharmacy, the prescription goes straight to the pharmacy which is always a great time saver.

Reduces the number of lost prescriptions, when the patient had the paper form of the prescription it often got lost stolen or even forgot about. With e- prescribing it goes right to the pharmacy so you don't have to remember to take it the pharmacy or it even getting lost.

5. It also enables better monitoring of the controlled substances prescriptions. This way the physician can better keep track of how many doses the patient has got of the controlled substance.

I agree with you 100% that e- prescribing helps with illegible scripts! A lot of people don't have the best handwriting , so it defiantly helps that the prescription goes right over to the pharmacy so the pharmacist doesn't have to play a guessing game! Good job love your post.
I choose a different standpoint from yours but I love how you included the pharmacy technicians time, because it is very important I didn't really think about it until I read your post. I honestly agree though being sent right over to the pharmacy helps saves a lot of time specially checking for errors and doses and so fourth! Good job on your
