Simple ePrescribing option for OpenEMR

OpenEMR Development

Team,

It seems that a “loose integration” with one of available services would be
the easiest way to use ePrescription along with openEMR (by opening a new
Browser window).

Two free options are:

NEPSI (as mentioned before)
http://www.nationalerx.com/

and AllScript ePrescribe.
https://erxnowregistration.allscripts.com/

Here is the User Guide:
https://eprescribe.allscripts.com/media/files/ePrescribe_GSG.pdf

However this requires an initial double entry of Patient demographic
data and a manual search of patient for each follow-on prescription.

Now, we are looking for an improved user experience by:

- Posting demographic data behind the scene, whenever a new patient
is added into OpenEMR
(According to Allscript this includes First Name, Last Name,  Date of
Birth, Gender and  Zip Code)

- And using some sort of SSO (single Sign-On) from Rx page to automatically
login and initiate search for current patient.

I am wondering what you think of this approach and if there has been any
activity along these lines?

Thanks,

We currently involed in building up the E-prescription requirement, one significant issue regarding e-prescription to pharmacy drug dispensary is the conditional issue of the particular patient allergy highlighted.  Anyone has the experience in openemr regarding this

Sinmu,

The option above would cover patient allergies and drug-drug reaction.
(see page 11 of AllScripts user guide: https://eprescribe.allscripts.com/media/files/ePrescribe_GSG.pdf).

However this again needs double entry :frowning:

A seamless integration with SureScript or one of their gateways would
be the ultimate solution.

Here is a list of Gateways:

I will check with OpenEMR Support, LLC as Brady suggested and
post an update here.

If anybody else is working on this, please share a short summary,
current status, availability and/or timeline.

Thanks,
