E-Prescribe Program
Started by calvinhobbes
Thank you!!
I use drfirst and iprescribe (same service at the end of the day, but for some unknown reason the web interface and the app are separate things). I prefer the web version (but you get both).
Yeah I use iPrescribe too. I think RCopia is just DrFirst like desktop/EMR version and iprescribe is the "app based" version.
I really like iPrescribe because I can do prescriptions from like literally anywhere since it's an app on my ipad/iphone...so like I'm out of town somewhere on a trip, I need to send a script, I can do it in 15 seconds from my phone I have with me anyway. It's a little clunky having to load every patient into it manually but once your practice is built up and only have to do a few intakes a week, pretty much a non-issue.
Yeah I didn’t like DrFirst at all. The EMR I use is much better in my opinion.
I caught the tail end of hand written prescriptions in med school and residency. As a med student, "here, write my prescriptions for me." Excitedly scribbling away.
As resident, man this is a pain, why can't I just use that computer over there.
Now I'm disgruntled by all the warnings, pop ups, "are you sure?" and now being a master mouse manipulator.
With a likely false nostalgia, I reminisce for a prescription pad, a quality pen, tearing it off, and directly handing it to a person face to face. Even cracking open a fresh box order of prescriptions, the small, the clean crisp piles of stacked pads, all ready to work. Heck even the splurge of antiquity, perhaps quill and ink? But that's likely to never happen. If anything, we'll get 10 more clicks added to the work flow by the bureaucratic flavor of the day.
To answer OPs question I use the DrFirst /Rcopia that was connected with Luminello, and now with SimplePractice.

I've yet to be offered the e-prescribe option with SP. I was wondering, are you able to use the iPrescribe phone app? Or do you only have the SP EMR browser option?
I haven't bothered to download the phone app.
So I'm not sure if its in there or not.
If I do use the phone to access SP, I use a browser. But very rare that I use the phone to access.
I just circle back to a computer at some point.
