How E-Prescriptions Improve Efficiency and Accuracy in Aesthetic Clinics

Church Pharmacy has been committed to staying at the forefront of the digital world. As more aesthetic clinics are embracing e-prescription services as an alternative to the traditional paper prescribing, the benefits are becoming increasingly clear. This article delves into the benefits of introducing e-prescriptions in aesthetic clinics and how it can help keep healthcare professionals stay secure and efficient whilst also keeping patients safe.

An e-prescription is essentially a digital version of the traditional handwritten paper prescription, e-prescriptions include all the necessary details that would typically be found on a paper prescription. In the fast-paced world of aesthetic medicine, healthcare professionals don’t often have time to write paper prescriptions so digital prescriptions are a faster, more reliable way to manage treatments and patient records. Additionally, electronic prescribing in aesthetics can also improve the communication and accuracy between prescribers and pharmacies, reducing errors and streamlining the entire process, from ordering medication to final delivery. 

Do you remember the days of repeatedly handwriting the same details on paper prescriptions, only for them to become increasingly difficult to read? Paper prescriptions come with several risks, including data protection concerns, the need to physically post sensitive information, and rising postage costs.

In contrast, e-prescribing offers a faster, more secure and more efficient way for aesthetic clinics to manage prescriptions. 

E-prescribing benefits: 

• Secure digital record keeping 
• Cost-savings
• Improved traceability and audit trails 
• Enhanced efficiency

Overall, e-prescribing provides a more reliable and secure prescribing service for aesthetic clinics, making prescription management simpler, safer and more effective. 

What security measures should be in place when using an e-prescribing service? To stay at the forefront of digital security for prescription systems, almost all e-prescribing platforms should incorporate advanced security protocols such as:

• Encrypted digital signatures 
  To prevent any fraudulent activity. 
  
  
• Multi-factor authentication 
  Add’s an extra layer of protection to access and make any prescription changes. 
  
  
• Prescription validations 
  To cross check prescribed medications against patient history and against other medication on the same prescription to prevent errors and ensure patient safety.

Patient safety in aesthetic clinics and pharmacies is paramount. Switching to e-prescriptions not only improves patient safety but also reduces admin time for healthcare professionals and clinic staff members.

Paper prescriptions come with several risks such as, illegible handwriting, incorrect dosages and the potential of dispensing errors. Incorporating e-prescriptions help to reduce prescription errors and keep patient data secure. 

E-prescribing eliminates these issues by: 

• Enabling real-time validation checks 
• Ensuring accurate dosing and contraindication alerts 
• Reducing incorrect product dispensing 
• Protecting patient data and records
