Online patient databases with drug prescriptions information is spreading throughout the United States. E-prescription technology is currently in use in Kentucky and Florida. The database, referred to as CarePrescribe, is manufactured by Humana and co-founded by Blue Cross. It attempts to streamline drug information and general patient history.
CarePrescribe provides access to vital information such as patients’ medication history, benefit plans and eligibility, as well as information prescription drugs and allergies.
Over two thousand physicians in both states are currently using the comprehensive pharmacy network. CarePrescribe allows doctors to access patient’s pharmacies, including where prescription drugs are filed. Physicians can also transmit prescriptions electronically to a designated pharmacy choice.
Humana hopes to expand its e-prescription technology to other parts of the U.S. So far in Kentucky, CarePrescribe has made the renewal of patient drug prescriptions renewals easy and speedier, and provides several significant benefits.
How do Such Databases Help With Prescription Drugs and Patient Information
Emergency information can be accessed and passed electronically and rapidly, reducing risk of human error. Pharmacies can know which prescriptions ideally should be prescribed as cost-effective according to a patient’s drug plan situation, and be instantly informed about allergy alerts.
Another important benefit of CarePrescribe is access to prescription history. Access to a past prescription drug also helps to give pharmacists an idea of the patient’s past drug history and potential interactions or addiction problems. CarePrescribe also helps monitor drug prescriptions to reduce drug abuse by curbing the prevalent problem of doctor shopping and pharmacy prescription falsification.
