Abstract
Medication therapy management can play a key role in the rising costs of healthcare, as it relates to both workflow efficiency and patient safety. E-prescribing allows for prescribing the most medically appropriate and cost effective prescription at the point of care and transmitting the prescription electronically to the patient's choice of pharmacy. E-prescribing can helpeliminate medication errors, improve patient safety, andreduce costs by making the medication therapy management process more efficient.
