Market Definition
E-Prescription refers to the comprehensive ecosystem of digital solutions and technologies aimed at enhancing and streamlining the prescription process within the healthcare industry. This consists a range of electronic prescription systems, software platforms, and associated services designed to replace traditional paper-based prescription methods. E-prescription systems facilitate the secure and efficient exchange of prescription information between healthcare professionals, pharmacies, and patients. These technologies aim to reduce medication errors, enhance patient safety, and improve overall healthcare workflow efficiency.
Global E-Prescription Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increased adoption of EHR solutions
The need for EHR solutions is primarily driven by the government's expanding support for the adoption of EHR solutions and the need to control the rapidly rising healthcare costs. The implementation of electronic health records has simplified prescription filling in several ways. The integrating solutions offer a better availability of medical histories than a standalone e-prescribing system. The global COVID-19 outbreak has also increased the number of patients in hospitals, necessitating improved patient data management. This is anticipated to increase demand for these solutions.
- Increasing E-prescription in hospitals
Doctors are finding themselves better equipped with technology replacing something basic but crucial in healthcare as prescribing medicine becomes easier. A computer created, communicated, and filed out medical prescription is known as a "e-prescription." Its primary goal is to reduce the need of paper prescriptions and the danger of prescription error. These are the factors which propel the growth of the market.
Opportunity
- Development of e-prescribing technologies
The main issues fuelling the development of e-prescribing technologies is the escalating opioid crisis in the United States. While making it more challenging to engage in misuse or fraud, the electronic prescription in controlled medications (EPCS) system offers a transparent, secure method that makes it relatively simpler to prescribe various controlled substances to patients who genuinely require them. For instance, the opioid issue reached crisis proportions in 2018 and cost the United States more than USD 500 billion annually, according to Surescipt projections.
Restraint/Challenge
- High cost of employment
The lack of technological awareness, high cost of employment, security, workflow issues, and increasing use of e-prescribing systems will obstruct the market's growth rate. The dearth of skilled professionals and lack of healthcare infrastructure in developing economies will challenge the e-prescription market.
