PART 1: ELECTRONIC PRESCRIBING USE Industry Collaboration Drives Continuous Improvement in Electronic Prescription Quality QUALITY TIP 1: To avoid confusion and reduce pharmacy call backs for clarification, prescribers should not split directions between Sig and Notes Fields. Issue: - 1 PO DAILY, Take one tablet twice a day. QUALITY TIP 2: Most drug descriptions should typically include the complete drug name, strength, strength units and dosage form (if applicable). 10 20 40 QUALITY TIP 3: Quantity qualifiers must be correctly associated with drug descriptions. Where possible, quantity along with the quantity qualifier should reflect the actual metric quantity. Example of Improper Use: Use Amoxicillin 250mg/5ml, 150 ml For more information about Surescripts efforts to raise industry quality, contact the Surescripts Quality Office (quality@surescripts.com) and visit our blog at www.surescripts.com/eprescribingquality. 16
