What are two of the advantages of electronic prescriptions over paper prescriptions?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should include two of the following:
Prescriptions can be sent immediately, without the patient having to carry a paper prescription
to the pharmacist.
There is no danger of the patient losing the prescription, like there is with a paper prescription.
The prescription is typed rather than handwritten, preventing errors that result from a pharmacist misinterpreting a dentist's handwriting.
There are fewer errors resulting from pharmacists entering the prescriptions into their computers incorrectly.
The dentist's computers can be tied to the patient's chart, thus alerting the dentist if there is a possible complication with a patient's condition or other medications.
