This will enable healthcare personnel to raise requests for prescriptions to the hospital pharmacy through authorized web-access points. The main benefits are time-savings and further reduction in errors.
This system also marks a major step towards further integration with other clinical systems within hospitals such as ‘Electronic Prescribing and Medicine Administration’ (ePMA).
Speaking on behalf of Ascribe, Stephen Critchlow, CEO & chairman stated, this is a major technological breakthrough and we are now starting to make real progress in the web-based integration of clinical systems in healthcare.
Ascribe systems are installed in over 60% of UK hospitals. The firm says its new web-based architecture which is based upon Microsoft’s SQL server allows hospitals to move forward with their prescription technology.
