I used Allscripts ePrescribe for some time, and despite it being billed as the devil incarnate for an EHR, the free, standalone prescribing module had some good features, and I prefer it to the AC version. It had an alert that an ERx did not go through (no digging through NewCropScreens), the ability to mix paper printed and ERx's with controlled substances only allowing printing, and a much more robust preferred pharmacy, with the ability to choose either a preferred mail order pharmacy (which came up under a separate drop down list to make finding them easier) or a local pharmacy, and mixing them if desired without having to enter separate Rx's. One push of the "send" button and it was all done. It is web based, and I can access it from any computer or operating system and my i-Phone. If it integrated with AC I would go back to it in an instant.
