Great post. We have the same experience. Whether it is ePrescribe or fax, it is the same thing. Prior to ePrescribe, we faxed everything from the computer. I would ask for the pharmacy, and then spent about 15 seconds faxing it right in front of them and then tell them, "I have faxed your meds to the pharmacy." Forget the pharmacy. 25% of them would still stand at the front desk and tell the receptionist, "Don't I need a script? He told me he was going to use an antibiotic." I feel like saying to them, "Yes, you do, sorry. I just ask you what pharmacy you use for the hell of it."

I have a few templates, but I mostly type. The meds are fortunately automatically inserted. It is nice because it says "transmitted to pharmacy." I am a lightning fast typist, though, especially since I am so confident in the AC spell checker. smile
