eRx Overview

eRx is an optional axiUm+ module that integrates with axiUm to offer e-prescribing software. Accessed through the EHR module, it enables providers to perform drug interaction checks, access over 65,000 drugs on a national drug database, review which drugs are covered under insurance, and submit prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy of their choice.

This streamlines the prescription process by combining the searching and writing prescriptions into a simpler, automated process, eliminates paper prescriptions, and minimizes human error. eRx allows providers to update patient medications, problems and allergies in real time so that they do not need to be re-entered in axiUm. eRx also features built-in drug-to-drug and drug-to-allergy checking, formulary compliance, dose checking, and medication history, ensuring providers stay up to date with current information and provide better patient care.

Note: The eRx module is only available in the United States.

From the axiUm eRx window, you can complete a variety of tasks related to your patient. This includes managing allergies, pharmacies, medications/prescriptions, problems, and related alerts and diagnoses.

Each time you see a patient, you should review their record with them. This includes, but is not limited to, their demographic information, active medication list, allergy list, and problem list.

Reviewing the record with the patient allows you to confirm you have the correct patient selected in eRx and ensure their record is still accurate.

Important: Any patient that will receive a prescription through eRx must have their first and last names, date of birth, gender, and contact information, including address, zip code, and primary phone number recorded in their Patient Card in axiUm.

For more information on working with eRx, see the eRx documentation.
