E-prescribing is widely used in preparation and maintenance of complete medication lists. Moreover, the technology also aids extraction of complete patient information and formulary with continuous data security checks. These services are gaining traction due to increasing application of technology in the healthcare sector and significant support from governments across the world. For instance, government initiatives include incentive programs to promote e-prescribing, such as the National Council for Prescription Drugs Program and the Clinical Health Act in North America.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2018, 7,000 to 9,000 people die due to medication errors in the U.S. every year.
