How Much Could You Save With E-Prescribe?

Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) is quickly becoming mandated throughout the United States. With the technological hurdles and additional costs associated with adding an e-prescribe system, these changes can seem intimidating to many hospices. 

However, e-prescribe comes with several benefits including:

  • Saving clinicians time and saving the hospice money
  • Eliminating the manual burden on nurses
  • Streamline admissions processes
  • Making prescribing anytime from a mobile device a reality
  • Giving clinicians medication information (included insurance) at the bedside
  • And much more.
