myAvatar e-Prescribing Software

Medication can be a vital part of a client’s treatment. Yet with the number of prescriptions growing (an average of five percent per year), there are ever-increasing possibilities for errors involving prescription medications. Plus, pharmacists are forced to make more than 150 million “call backs” regarding the clarification of prescription information. Whether it involves improperly identifying complications with side effects, or simply not being able to read a doctor’s handwriting, can you afford to take that risk?

myAvatar e-Prescribing software, powered by InfoScriber, is a secure, Web-based prescribing and medication management system. The system can be utilized anywhere there is access to the Internet via an Internet Explorer browser. Thus, physicians can instantly have their patients’ medication information wherever they are (whether they are in the office or on-call at home).

The myAvatar e-Prescribing software improves the quality of care and reduces medication errors. The electronic creation and transmission of medication orders from the user’s desktop computer to any pharmacy reduces the possibility of a misread prescription by a pharmacist.

Business Benefits:

• Enhances patient safety
• Increases physician productivity
• Reduces pharmacy call backs
• Includes detailed reporting tools
• Eliminates the risk of illegible prescriptions
• Adheres to security and confidentiality standards

myAvatar e-Prescribing software improves access to key clinical information when ordering patient medications, including:

• Potential drug-to-drug/food interactions and drug allergy alerts
• Pregnancy and lactation alerts
• Peer medication dosing patterns
• Online access to clinical resources

The myAvatar e-Prescribing software also saves nurse and administrative time by automating reports and documentation that is traditionally managed by staff. The system provides the organization with a system to electronically input and track medication data and it allows the organization to create reports for:

• Analyzing medication usage, including polypharmacy
• Budgeting and cost control efforts
• Improving operational efficiency

myAvatar e-Prescribing software reduces staff phone time and ends staff/pharmacy telephone tag. As a result, staff members spend less time on pharmacy call-backs for refills, illegible handwriting, re-orders and prescription changes. The solution may also decrease or eliminate pharmacy-wait time for patients.

User-friendly Interface
myAvatar e-Prescribing software is designed to improve the overall medication management process. The user interface is easy to navigate, simple to use and facilitates rapid access to important information.

e-Prescriber’s Desktop
This multi-purpose introduction screen contains messaging capability, access to standard reports, patient profile recall and flash surveys. The reports are delivered in real-time to assist in managing work flow, organizational efficiency and quality improvement.

Virtual Pharmacist
On this screen, drug interactions are automatically checked when prescribed, and medication orders can be confirmed and submitted with just one click. The Virtual Pharmacist provides clinical resources at the point of prescribing, offering extensive drug interaction information, single click reordering and discontinuations and submits the prescription electronically to the pharmacy of choice or
printed locally.

Medication Profile
The Medication Profile contains crucial patient diagnostic, medical and prescription information. The system provides valuable information on diagnoses and known allergies—all designed to help organizations meet accreditation standards and regulatory requirements.

Reporting
Insight to the “what” and “why” of e-prescribing is provided within a suite of standard reports included with the myAvatar e-Prescribing solution. These real-time reports assist a physician or organization in efficiently and effectively managing and tracking of critical patient medication history and administration. A wide range of custom reports are also available to help individuals and organizations drill down to a specific layer for more details.
