Clinic implements electronic prescriptions

Posted on 1/31/2012

Heart of America Johnson Clinic is continuing to implement electronic medical records, which will now includes ePrescribing, or electronic prescriptions. As of February 1, all prescriptions will be done using ePrescribing. However, some medicines (such as narcotics and sleeping pills) cannot be ePrescribed and still have to be handwritten.

Clinic staff encourages all patients to first contact their pharmacy when they need a prescription renewal. The pharmacy will then contact clinic staff to send in the prescription. Please allow several days to get your prescription, as many of the clinic providers work in satellite sites and are not always immediately available. If you have any questions or concerns regarding ePrescribing, please contact Clinic Administrator Jim Potvin at 776-5235.
