E-prescribing or electronic prescribing is a process involving the electronic generation and sending of prescription orders for the convenience of medical practitioners or physicians, allowing them to transmit prescriptions directly from the point of care to a pharmacy. E-prescribing enhances the safety of patients and the quality of care, since there is no manual writing involved and thus there is less probability of prescription errors. In addition, e-prescribing also helps conduct security checks, encapsulate medical lists, and compile the complete historical data of a patient.

As per the report, the increasing initiatives taken by governments globally and the enhanced quality of healthcare are amongst the key factors boosting the e-prescribing market. In addition, the reduction in prescription errors will also drive the adoption of this technology, hence propelling the development of the market.
