E-Prescribing Market Scope
Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) solutions are widely used in the healthcare industry for their benefits such as improved patient safety, fewer medication errors due to handwritten prescriptions, fewer medication errors due to misunderstood phone prescriptions, and lower risk of losing or losing misplaced written prescriptions. This, in turn, should spur growth in the global electronic prescription market over the forecast period. The e-prescription market is expected to continue this trend over the coming years. This is due to the increasing adoption of electronic prescription and drug delivery systems, which offer benefits such as accurate communication between health professionals and a reduction in unwanted medication errors, drug events, and healthcare costs. The increasing adoption of EHR solutions, government initiatives and incentive programs, the increasing focus on reducing the abuse of controlled substances, the increasing focus on reducing medical errors, and the need to reduce rising healthcare costs are driving the growth of the e-prescription market ahead. In addition, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the use of telemedicine modules and telemedicine consultations. This continues to drive the adoption of e-prescribing solutions. The increasing government support for the introduction of EHR solutions and the need to reduce rising healthcare costs are the main drivers of the demand for such solutions. Despite its advantages, end-users continue to be reluctant to adopt electronic prescribing solutions, largely due to their high cost. The costs are not limited to the one-time purchase of a system, but also include recurring costs, e.g. for implementation services, maintenance, and support services, the integration of electronic prescribing in EHR / EMR, and in some training for cases, and education.
