Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The physician issues the prescription and records it in the chart in one step. The prescription can be transmitted electronically from the physician's computer system to the pharmacy, thus saving time for the patient and eliminating the need for the doctor's staff to call in the prescription. Reduces errors caused by handwritten prescriptions. The DUR and formulary compliance checking can be performed by the doctor's computer at the time the prescription is written. This allows any problems with the prescription to be corrected prior to sending it to the pharmacy, and it drastically reduces the number of phone calls back to the prescribing physician from the pharmacy, thus saving everyone time.

Each medication is automatically recorded in the medication list as the prescription is created; a current and recent medications list is available to the clinician while writing the prescription , which reduces prescribing errors. Electronic systems shorten the time it takes to write a prescription by maintaining a list of prescriptions the clinician writes frequently. Physicians of patients with chronic diseases frequently write renewals for existing prescriptions; with EHR systems, they perform this task with a few clicks of the mouse. All FDA--approved drugs are

listed in the computer, eliminating the need to use a drug reference book to find an uncommon drug.
