Abstract

Electronic prescriptions affect pharmacy workflows. In this study, we measure the workflow efficiency in pharmacies in 2006 and 2012: both, in traditional workflow when electronic prescription was not in use, and in new direct delivery workflow, which is the mandated workflow model in the case of electronic prescriptions.
