Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Economics, Business and Management - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This research presents the implementation of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) and the expected goals of this application. E-prescribing applied relatively recently in Greece. This research examines its benefits to the doctors, to the pharmacists, to the patients and to the National Health Service. Moreover, it includes the advantages and the difficulties arising during its use. Furthermore, the research focuses on the views of the direct users of the newly introduced application: doctors and pharmacists in the Greek prefecture of Corinthia. Additionally, it describes the use and the first results of the application of e-prescribing. 90 pharmacists and 90 doctors responded in questionnaires and the results were analyzed statistically. E-prescribing is a very promising application, but it has not completely fulfilled its original objectives, due to the way it is used. Finally, there are some suggestions about the improvement of the application. Keywords: electronic prescribing, pharmacists, National Health Service, doctors, Corinthia.
