EPS benefits for prescribing staff
- There will be a reduction in workload generated by patients requesting and collecting individual prescriptions and the ability to make wider use of the repeat dispensing service.
- After reviewing electronic prescriptions on screen, prescribers can either sign electronic prescriptions individually or select multiple electronic prescriptions to sign. This will potentially result in a considerable reduction in workload and make the prescribing process more efficient.
- Prescribers will also have the ability to cancel electronic prescriptions at any point up until they are dispensed and to record the reason they were cancelled.
- Where currently a GP practice operates a prescription collection service, staff will no longer need to sort (or post) prescriptions saving both time and resource.
