Using the ePrescribe web service, you can create and send prescriptions electronically to your patients' pharmacies. Creating and sending prescriptions electronically is simpler than using a script pad and provides you with instant checks on drug interactions, dosage levels, and patient-specific factors including prior adverse reactions. Creating prescriptions electronically protects patient information through privacy and security measures including prescriber authentication.
Note: To use the ePrescribe web service, you must first enable secure password protection in Dentrix and then register for, activate, and set up an administrator for ePrescribe.
