It takes a minimum of 8 clicks to get a prescription sent electronically with the current eprescribing service:

1. Choose the medicine, wait for the screen to change
2. Choose the dosage, wait for the screen to change
3. Choose the frequency
4. Choose Save, wait for the screen to change
5. Choose Take Completed Rx to Review Screen, wait for screen to change
6. Choose to Proceed to Transmit/Print, wait for screen to change
7. Choose Transmit RX, wait for screen to change
8. Choose Pharmacy, wait for screen to change

Some recommendations which would eliminate at least 3 steps:
1. Do not for the use of the select frequency step, make optional.
2. Allow the option of going right to the the transmit screen-eliminating one step
3. Have the last pharmacy used be the default. Most of the time, scripts go to the same place every time
