Let's get started! Q1: What is the state of e-prescribing in the US? #KareoChat https://t.co/NdIFiDiWh9

Welcome @KandidlyKatie, @GetSocialHealth, @HMNwriters & @FullscriptHQ! Happy to have you in the #KareoChat today!
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
77 percent of all scripts are run electronically as of 2017 #kareochat
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
90 percent of non-controlled and 22 percent of controlled - that is impressive #kareochat
Kandidly Katie @KandidlyKatie
I couldn't agree more! Our entire household relies heavily on the convenience of e-prescribing. #KareoChat https://t.co/iEh4cxqRV2

It's been a while since I needed a heavy-hitter drug (i.e. controlled). It used to be you had to have a paper script. I guess that has changed @drtom_kareo? #KareoChat
Tebra @TebraOfficial
Always happy to see you in the #KareoChat @SheeresePubHlth! You insights are always appreciated.

A1. I love e-prescribing. The first glitch I've experienced was this week when an urgent care prescription was delayed going through the computer system by 2hrs. I went to the pharmacy, had to leave and come back later. #kareochat

@GetSocialHealth @drtom_kareo It must depend because I've had to take in the paper for my dad's pain meds while his others were sent electronically. #kareochat
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
The network outage rates are actually low and the QOS is very high with surescripts and others IMO no easy task #kareochat
Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba
Q1 A better question may be, "what is the state of #genomics, which will be a major driver of ePrescribing in the very near future #kareochat
Annie Beth Donahue @anniebdonahue
@drtom_kareo Very true! #KareoChat
Janet Kennedy @GetSocialHealth
Why would someone *not* use e-prescribing? Is it a generational thing? Or a #Rural Medicine issue? #KareoChat
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
@anniebdonahue. It is a good thing that paper backup is still an option, paper is a thng of the past in most doctor offices #kareochat

@drtom_kareo We've picked up a LOT of prescriptions for my family and this was the first time it's ever happened. #KareoChat

@GetSocialHealth Rural medicine is actually poised to benefit greatly from ePrescribing. Any lack of utilization generally comes from a lack of competency or understanding #RuralHealth #KareoChat
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
eprescribing is going to turn into e-delivery soon - drones with drugs at your door #kareochat

@drtom_kareo The rising study of genetic disorders drives the global E-Prescribing Systems market among the pop. The advanced tech platforms & improved genomic tools are key factors driving the growth of the global E-Prescribing Systems market during the next few years #KareoChat https://t.co/VbExXqu4S5

@ShereesePubHlth point around genomics: Your biomarkers and DNA will effect drug selection and efficacy #kareochat

Q2: What can e-prescribing do to improve outcomes and reduce costs today (triple aim)? #KareoChat https://t.co/mY1S1f22z8
Annie Beth Donahue @anniebdonahue
@GetSocialHealth @ShereesePubHlth Same! I love genomics, but am not sure how it would be a force behind e-prescribing. Interested to find out how. #kareochat
Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba
@GetSocialHealth Genomics is expected to expand ePrescribing #kareochat. Not a question, but an observation #KareoChat
Janet Kennedy @GetSocialHealth
Q2: I always seem to answer a question with another question but this is fascinating. Do #physicians ever find out if a prescription is not picked up? #KareoChat

@GetSocialHealth Great point @GetSocialHealth ! For some of our practitioners & patients, it can be generational, unfamiliarity, or simply used to the old ways. However, the right user experience can turn this around! #KareoChat
Annie Beth Donahue @anniebdonahue
@drtom_kareo @ShereesePubHlth I'm an ultra-rapid metabolizer. Most doctors do not take this into consideration when prescribing. I'd love to see a list of drugs flagged in the computer system somehow. #KareoChat

@anniebdonahue @GetSocialHealth You have to put it in the right frame of reference: Think bioinformatics tools, recovery of novel drugs, high throughput screening (HTS) methods, & the development of cost-effective technologies such as next-generation sequencing, all potential opps for #ePrescribing #kareochat https://t.co/P6z8xAQceh
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
To improve outcomes personal genetic profiles will point to optimal meds as well as problematic meds. This will also save on $ #kareochat
Tebra @TebraOfficial
Hi @DrLaurieG! Thanks for being part of the discussion! Don't forget to include the hashtag so everyone can see your comments. #KareoChat

A2. Outcomes are improved when the patient picks up their meds quickly because they know it's already ready and waiting for them at the pharmacy. No, "I'll go when I have the time." #kareochat
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
@anniebdonahue yes this is one factor that is used to better manage meds #kareochat

Med compliance is a big factor in costs and outcome - meds delivered to door can help compliance #kareochat

@drtom_kareo A2. Yes! Money will be saved with less trial and error. #kareochat

Q3: How does e-prescribing help to engage patients in their care? #KareoChat https://t.co/Vy0IwrDF85

@drtom_kareo The convenience of drop-shipping is so helpful to the patient, especially helping with refills and adherence. #KareoChat
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
@FullscriptHQ for sure, that is a good point and well adopted today #kareochat

It's a little *1st World Problem* when I can't get to the pharmacy in time to pick up my re-fills when I only live 1.5 miles away! #KareoChat https://t.co/FGXZwevOLj

Hello @TheSocialNurse and @Truactive. Welcome to the #KareoChat!
Kandidly Katie @KandidlyKatie
@GoKareo From the #patient perspective I can say that without e-prescribing I'd likely be slow in dropping off prescriptions, delaying my own care in the process. #KareoChat

A3. Our pediatrician has used the system to identify and discuss cheaper alternatives with us while we sat in the exam room, giving us control over the choice. #kareochat
Janet Kennedy @GetSocialHealth
e-prescribing is such a boon when you are really sick. I remember the days when I would drag myself to the Dr for a sinus infection, feeling terrible, get a paper script and then wait for it to be filled. Ugh! #KareoChat
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
Engagement: Pts can request refills on patient portals, and can become more self directed in their care #kareochat

Let's look at the topic from the HCP perspective. Q4: What are advantages of e-prescribing to providers? #KareoChat https://t.co/6SzdBbQ13A
Dr. Tom Giannulli @drtomg_HIT
Engagement: Pts can also signup for daily medication notifications to reduce missed doses and refill reminders if missed refills #kareochat

Let's do the math. Hand written scripts x scripts per pt x number of pts Multiplied by bad handwriting ... Yea, e-prescribing seems like a very good idea! #KareoChat
Fullscript @FullscriptHQ
@drtom_kareo Refill reminders are fantastic - are they send before they run out? #KareoChat

Time to be Medical Futurists! Q5: How will e-prescribing evolve in the next 5 years (Hint: AI)? #KareoChat https://t.co/MHlCvUkSGo
Kandidly Katie @KandidlyKatie
@GoKareo Providers can check for overlapping scripts, helping reduce the abuse of prescription drugs. Not to mention the clarification it offers when compared to handwritten scripts. I think we can all agree that docs don't always have the most legible handwriting! #KareoChat
Kandidly Katie @KandidlyKatie
@GoKareo @drtom_kareo Didn't you mention something about #drones? Personally, I'd love to see cute little robots "hand" delivering my medication! #KareoChat

Key to e-prescribing is the role of the #pharmacist. Mine is doing all the heavy lifting on making sure I have refills, or checking on questions with the medications. #KareoChat
