TouchChart Rx+
Proven Electronic Prescribing Solution TouchChart is an intuitive electronic health record solution designed for the unique needs of small to mid-sized physician practices. TouchChart is making the practice of medicine more streamlined, less demanding, and more rewarding for physicians and their entire staff.
The Challenge With more than three billion prescriptions written per year, prescribing is one of the largest, paper-based processes in our nation. Not surprisingly, it is also one of the most inefficient. With approximately a third of all prescriptions generating a call back from a pharmacy, physicians and their staff spend hours of time each week pulling charts and verifying information. However, more importantly, there are consistently issues with the safety of the prescribing process as medication errors result in thousands of deaths annually.
The Solution TouchChart Rx+ e-prescribing solution is from Allscripts the industry's most trusted and widely used e-prescribing software provider in the United States today. Thousands of physicians have written millions of prescriptions using Allscripts technology because no other solution is faster, safer or more reliable. It's simple to use as it intuitively learns the physician's behavior - increasing the efficiency of the prescribing process. TouchChart Rx+ helps clinicians increase patient safety, reduce pharmacy call backs and improve office efficiency.

Pathway to an electronic health record
"Electronically faxing prescriptions versus phoning them in has cut our usage time from an estimated six minutes per call to less than one minute per fax. At $12 per hour, this repreasents an annual savings of $48,000 just for the decrease in time spent refilling prescriptions by phone. "
