ePrescribing in Clinical is currently facilitated by eRx Script Exchange, an Australia-wide Internet-based gateway allowing prescriptions to be sent electronically and securely between practitioners and pharmacies. It has been developed to improve patient safety by ensuring that the information on a patient's prescription arrives exactly as intended. ePrescribing functionality is installed automatically with MedicalDirector Clinical, and must be configured manually.
