The global e-prescribing market was pegged at US$ 1.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 23.9% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Market Fundamentals
E-prescribing (electronic prescribing) is a subpart of e-health that deals with writing and sending prescriptions to patients and pharmacies using telecommunication services. Pen and paper are replaced by automated, advanced technology with electronic prescriptions. Clinical decision-support technologies raise patient safety by warning doctors about dangerous medication interactions and drug allergies. Additionally, receiving formulary data from a patient's insurer at the point of care enables prescribers to cut costs by selecting the most economical course of action. E-prescribing not only streamlines the pharmaceutical distribution procedure. The e-prescribing lowers expenses while simultaneously raising quality.
