商品簡介
Written for nurses, physicians, office managers, and medical secretaries, this reader-friendly guide explains e-prescribing technology in the context of today's complex healthcare environment. It presents information needed to use electronic prescribing safely, explains how e-prescribing works, and shows how to recognize which e-prescribing features can help or hinder safe prescribing. The book's self-contained chapters are in sections on foundations, tools, improving patient safety, and implementation. A scale at the beginning of each chapter indicates the general relevance of the chapter to prescribers, pharmacists, office managers, e-prescribing program designers, and nurse/medical assistants. Sidebars throughout the book contrast the concerns of pharmacists with those of the medical office. Appendixes offer sample forms, checklists, workflow templates, and guidelines for training. A glossary is also included. Van Ornum is chair of the Joint Physician Pharmacy Group. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
