Which process allows for the electronic sending of prescriptions?

E-prescribing is the process that facilitates the electronic sending of prescriptions from a healthcare provider to a pharmacy. This system uses secure electronic networks, allowing providers to create and transmit prescriptions directly, reducing the need for paper prescriptions. E-prescribing enhances efficiency in the prescribing process, minimizes the risk of errors associated with handwritten prescriptions, and streamlines patient care by allowing for quicker communication and less delay in medication dispensing.

The other options, while related to medication management, do not specifically focus on the electronic transmission of prescriptions. Prescription monitoring pertains to tracking prescriptions for controlled substances to prevent misuse. Telemedicine refers to the provision of healthcare services using telecommunications technology, but it does not specifically involve prescribing medications electronically. Medication reconciliation is the process of ensuring that a patient’s medication lists are accurate and complete, but it does not involve the act of electronically sending prescriptions.
