The current gold standard of E Prescribing and Electronic Patient Records has remained on the shelf for many decades due to affordability and cultural challenges. In the absence of E Prescribing, the current solution continues to be the pen, which is subjective and difficult or impossible to standardise. Pen prescribing poses serious issues with its illegibility, misinterpretations and inefficiencies. Hospitals are walking the highway of medication safety, taking their chances and hoping to avoid being hit by the near misses, catastrophes and all the in between risks that are medication errors.

​

Clearscribe® is a user-friendly digital application designed to eliminate the illegibility associated with the prescribing of medications in hospitals. A cloud based prescribing software deployed onto stand alone desk tops and workstations on wheels. Clearscribe is an easy install, intuitive and easily adopted.

Clearscribe produces clear prescribed medications printed onto permanent adhesive labels. These labels are applied to the Hospital’s MAR and signed by the prescriber. Each label contains clear instructions, in long hand rather than abbreviations, prescriber details and the statutory IMC number, with additional safety features unachievable by pen, such as times of prescription and patient identifiers on every prescription.
