CONSENT FORM FOR ePRESCRIBE PROGRAM
ePrescribe Program
ePrescribing is a way for doctors to send electronically an accurate, error free, and understandable prescription from the doctor’s office to the pharmacy. The ePrescribe Program also includes:
-
Fill status notification – Allows the health care provider to receive an electronic notice from the pharmacy telling them if your prescription has been picked up, not picked up, or partially filled.
-
Medication history transaction – Provides the health care provider with information about your current and past prescriptions. This allows health care providers to be better informed about potential medication issues and to use that information to improve safety and quality. Medication history data can indicate compliance with prescribed regimens; therapeutic interventions; drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions; adverse drug reactions; and duplicative therapy.
The medication history information would include medications prescribed by your health care provider at Internal Medicine and Pediatrics of Cullman, P.C. as well as other health care providers involved in your care and may include sensitive information including, but not limited to, medications related to mental health conditions, venereal diseases/sexually transmitted diseases, abortion(s), rape/sexual assault, substance (drug and alcohol) abuse, genetic diseases, and HIV/ AIDS.
