Literature search of CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar was performed.
Conclusions:
Challenges to eRx implementation and effective use include transcription, workflow issues, alert fatigue, educational and tangible reminders, and eRx of controlled substances.
Implications For Practice:
Further research could be best focused on user-friendly and interactive software improvements for both patient and provider use, bidirectional communication, and workflow studies to improve efficiency of eRx.
