Our renewal application is unlike any other electronic prescription tool currently available, in an explanation to the press Dr Richard Fiedotin vice president of business development and product development at ePocrates explained. he continued: A physician can authorize a prescription with a single click on his handheld device. In addition, since we are focusing on renewals, rather than first-time prescriptions, the product does not require practice management system interfaces or wireless technology. Therefore, upon national release, the product can be deployed via the Internet and used immediately by any physician with a handheld device.
The ePocrates application is a promising new technology for simplifying the prescription renewal process, added Dr Eric Rosenberg of ProHealth Physicians in Hartford, Conn. It saves time for both the patient and the physician, assuring that patients receive their prescription renewal with less hassle. I am hoping for a rapid dissemination of this technology to improve my practice.
