How does an electronic order entry system enhance prescription management?

  1. By using a non-secure text message system

  2. Allows for stamp signatures on prescriptions

  3. Enables prescribers to click in prescriptions using a secure system

  4. Sends prescriptions to multiple pharmacies to prevent diversion

The correct answer is: Enables prescribers to click in prescriptions using a secure system

An electronic order entry system, in comparison to using a non-secure text message system (A), provides an increased level of security in the transmission of prescriptions. While stamp signatures on paper prescriptions (B) are still accepted in some situations, they are not as efficient or secure as electronic signatures. Sending prescriptions to multiple pharmacies (D) can lead to confusion and potential medication errors, making it a less desirable option compared to using a secure electronic system. Enabling prescribers to click in prescriptions using a secure system (C) also allows for easier tracking and monitoring of orders, ensuring accurate and timely processing.
