The Lytec MD ePrescribing module provides a complete electronic prescription solution that allows providers to offer an optimal level of patient safety, service, and efficiency. The ePrescribing module encompasses the electronic transmission of prescriptions and refill requests and access to prescription benefit eligibility, formulary and coverage, and medication fill history information at the point of care.
What are the benefits?
- Time Savings: Reviewing and responding electronically to prescription refill requests can save significant time in the practice by reducing time-consuming phone calls and faxes from pharmacies. This means less time spend on administrative tasks and more time for you and your staff to devote to patient care.
- Patient Safety: New prescriptions and refill responses are sent directly to computers at connected pharmacies in your area. This avoids potential errors due to misread prescriptions/faxes look-alike or sound-alike drug names.
- Electronically send and refill prescriptions to retail pharmacies: Lytec MD has been certified via McKesson’s Practice Partner module to connect to the Surescripts Electronic Prescribing Network – the largest network for electronic prescribing in the nation. This allows you to electronically send prescriptions and receive refill requests from most major retail pharmacies.
- Electronically send and refill prescriptions to mail order pharmacies: Lytec MD’s ePrescribing module also includes the ability to send prescription to mail order pharmacies operated by Express Scripts and Caremark via Surescripts (previously the RxHub National Patient Health Information Network). This allows you to take advantage of the efficiencies of electronic prescribing for mail order pharmacies. Please note that we are currently working on certification for the Medco Health Solutions mail order pharmacy and hope to have that available soon.
- Verify pharmacy benefits: Verify patients’ pharmacy benefits in real time before you write prescriptions.
- Formulary Coverage and Checking: You can view the formulary and coverage status of a drug for a particular patient when writing a new prescription, editing an existing prescription, or renewing a prescription.
- Medication Fill History: Information about prescriptions that have been filled for the patient at retail and mail order pharmacies can be downloaded and displayed in the patient’s care.
