Mobile Application of Electronic Prescribing for Supporting E-Health Services

The frequency of frequent medication errors in misreading prescriptions and drug doses that have the potential to cause harm and endanger the patient's health can be reduced by building electronic prescription applications (e-prescribing). The purpose of the development of e-prescribing is that prescription data that has been previously given to patients, can be traced to the history of prescription administration. A patient can seek treatment at more than one health provider organization so that prescription data provided by each health provider can ideally be traced and accessed through smartphone devices that are currently widely used by patients. In this research, a mobile application for electronic prescription has been built using RESTful Web Service as a WEB API that is used to integrate various prescription data from health providers. On the client-side mobile applications are used to access electronic prescription services. This research has provided an alternative prescription with information retrieval that is faster, more economical in the use of paper media, and integration of health information can be done in a framework so that it will improve health services to patients.
