The current status of eprescribing in AC is pathetic.
Clumsy
time consuming
Very unforgiving
Mean people (not on the ac side)
Doesn't synchronize to the program well-changes in dosages do not appear is only one of the problems.
Not available over the web for patients going into or out of the hospital, or emergency refills by smart phone.
They don't use xml so they don't let you use signs like < > or $. I often write rx for diabetics and need those symbols. I also like to write the $ for Wally world and the other pharmacies that match their price.
While the AC staff is amazing, it's an entirely different story with New Crop. The blame AC for all the problems
and try to get us to switch to another ehr.
I do electronic prescribing for safety only and so I can print out a med list for the patients. I have a lot of geriatric patients who need a med list.
It makes things more time consuming.
I know you were looking for an answer for someone with authority, but I feel so much better now!
