The influence of e-prescriptions on doctor's practices and pharmacies - financial expert warns of prescription loss
According to a report from www.apotheke-adhoc.de, the pharmacist Khosravani has noticed a significant decline in prescriptions since more prescriptions have been made via e-prescription. This is because many doctors only sign the prescriptions after the consultation or in the afternoon or evening, which means that the pharmacy cannot retrieve the prescription immediately. This leads to a lack of understanding among patients because urgently needed medication cannot be accessed immediately. According to Khosravani, the possible medium to long-term effects could mean a big shift towards mail order, as patients could send the prescription to the sender.

The influence of e-prescriptions on doctor's practices and pharmacies - financial expert warns of prescription loss
According to a report by www.apotheke-adhoc.de, pharmacist Khosravani has noticed a significant decline in prescriptions since more prescriptions have been made using e-prescriptions. This is because many doctors only sign the prescriptions after the consultation or in the afternoon or evening, which means that the pharmacy cannot retrieve the prescription immediately. This leads to a lack of understanding among patients because urgently needed medication cannot be accessed immediately.
According to Khosravani, the possible medium to long-term effects could mean a big shift towards mail order, as patients could send the prescription to the sender. This could lead to traditional pharmacies becoming less important and mail order businesses becoming more dominant in the market. In addition, the introduction of new laws that require annual instead of quarterly billing for doctors could lead to further savings in the form of travel distances to the practice and pharmacy for patients.
It is currently extremely important to work with doctors' practices to minimize prescription loss. The switch to e-prescriptions poses challenges for many practices, which is why close cooperation between pharmacies and doctors' practices is essential. However, Khosravani is worried that even with 100 percent cooperation, attrition cannot be completely avoided as long as signing is not ad hoc.
These changes could have far-reaching effects on the market and the financial industry. If the trend towards mail order sales increases, traditional pharmacies could have to accept sales losses, while mail order companies would benefit. Additionally, new laws affecting physician billing could result in further changes to the industry. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what adjustments will have to be made by the players in the financial industry in order to address the changes.
