eRx Service

The eRx service provides the basis for building prescription workflows directly into your applications. Prescribers send prescriptions to pharmacies electronically, and patients manage the pickup process.

Configuration

The Oystehr eRx service must be set up for your project before you can use it. Consult the configuration guide for more information.

Medication and Allergen Search

Searches for medications and allergens using the Medispan database can be performed without configuring the eRx service. This functionality is described in the medication search and allergen search guides.

Prescribing

Prescriptions are made via an embedded or popped-out UI and managed by our partner, DoseSpot (opens in a new tab), using the SureScripts network. The integration with DoseSpot is handled by Oystehr, and you do not need a separate relationship with DoseSpot to use the eRx Service. Check out the eRx Prescribing guide for more details on ePrescribing.

eRx Service on FHIR

The eRx Service integrates with the FHIR Service. When you create or update a new patient record, you then sync (opens in a new tab) the patient's latest information to the eRx service. This means that when prescribers create a new prescription, you can easily select the patient from the list of available patients. For more information, see Patient Sync.

Beta Access

The eRx Service is currently in beta. Please reach out to [email protected] to request access.

Sandbox Environment

All new projects are initially set up in sandbox mode. This allows you to test the eRx features without ordering real prescriptions. Sandbox mode ensures that you can fully test integrations and workflows before going live.
