The TouchWorks Rx+ module is an ambulatory medication management and prescription communication tool featuring drug interaction and allergy checking and plan-specific formularies. With the Rx+ PDA companion,  physicians can prescribe and route prescriptions directly from the exam room. The entire process is faster than using a script pad and reduces the need for pharmacy call back-saving time for physicians and their patients.

The Rx+ Advantage

• Streamlined office efficiency
  Medication questions and prescription renewals are managed online, eliminating paper chart pulls to answer questions, improving turnaround time for renewal requests, and facilitating communication with pharmacies and pharmacy benefit management (PBM) companies.
• Enhanced healthcare decision making
  Drug utilization review and smart links to appropriate knowledge sources provide staff with valuable on-the-spot information.
• Increased revenues
  Rx+ helps practices achieve plan formulary prescribing compliance and helps identify opportunities for clinical drug study participation.
• Improved quality of care
  Using Rx+ medication errors arising from illegible handwriting (misinterpretation of the drug name or dosage) are reduced. Physicians are proactively notified of prescription expirations and can check on patient compliance with medication fulfillment to ensure that patients are receiving the maximum health benefits with the recommended course of treatment.
