The emergence of COVID-19 to Augment Growth of the e-Prescribing Market

 

e-Prescribing Market

Electronic prescribing or e-Prescribing is the use of electronic tools to prescribe drugs. These tools can include both software and hardware programs, such as handheld and wireless devices, touch screens, and personal computers. e-Prescribing provides many benefits to pharmacies, patients, and prescribers and increases patients' medication adherence. It includes dosage checking and duplicate therapy alerts. e-Prescribing saves time of doctors and patient by storing complete information about every prescription

Market Dynamics:

Increased adoption of electronic health record (EHR) solutions and the growing government support for the adoption of EHR solutions is expected to propel the growth of the e-Prescribing market. For instance, in January 2021, WRS Health announced that it has expanded its footprint with the availability of Neurology-Cloud. A new EHR (electronic health record) and practice management solution for neurologists.

The emergence of COVID-19 is also expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the e-Prescribing market. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the integration of EHR, e-prescribing, and telemedicine has increased. Moreover, recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to use telemedicine services and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations for the electronic prescription of controlled substances have increased the number of e-Prescribing transactions.

Moreover, increasing focus on reducing medical errors, rising focus on reducing the abuse of controlled substances, and the need to curtail the escalating healthcare costs is expected to augment the growth of the e-Prescribing market. However, concerns regarding security and workflow, reluctance among healthcare professionals to adopt e-prescribing solutions, and the high cost of deployment are expected to restrain the growth of the e-Prescribing market.
