# E-prescribing for longevity clinics, built into the chart Source: https://www.longevityehr.com/e-prescribing E-prescribing is in development. The goal is simple: a provider writes and sends a prescription from the patient's chart, with the labs, care plan and medication list that informed it on the same screen. ## Today the prescription lives in a different tool The problem In many small practices, the reasons for a prescription sit in one place and the prescription is written somewhere else. The hormone panel, the lipid trend and the plan you agreed with the patient are in one system. The prescription goes out from another, often with a second login and the patient's details typed in again. E-prescribing is one of the next two large features our team is building, alongside [lab ordering](https://www.longevityehr.com/lab-ordering). It is not available today. We are building it so the decision and the prescription happen in the same chart, and the record stays in one piece. ## What prescribing from the chart will look like A provider opens the patient, reviews what changed, and prescribes without leaving the record. ### Start from the patient's chart The prescription will start in the chart where the decision was made, instead of in a separate login. ### Write it with the context in view The patient's recorded medications and allergies are planned to stay visible while you write, with the latest biomarker results and the active care plan one click away. ### Saved to the record once sent Each prescription is planned to be saved to the patient's record once it is sent, next to the notes and plan behind it. ## Eprescribing software designed for small practices Design principles The ground rules the feature is being built on, and the scope it will not cover. ### The provider decides Prescriptions are written and signed by the provider. The software records and sends them. It does not choose a drug or a dose. ### Your roles, your rules Who can prescribe will follow the roles and permissions your clinic already sets for its team. ### Audited like the rest Every read of and change to patient data is recorded in an audit trail today. Prescribing is planned to be recorded the same way. ### Not a pharmacy LongevityEHR is not a pharmacy and is not built for in-house dispensing. ### Built for cash-pay There is no insurance billing. LongevityEHR is built for cash-pay practices. - Memberships - Bundles - One-off services Most of the chart is already here. What is missing is the last step: sending the prescription. ## Built on the chart you already use Live today E-prescribing extends a chart that is in production now. Providers record allergies, medications and diagnoses, write and sign [clinical notes](https://www.longevityehr.com/clinical-notes), follow results on [biomarker trends](https://www.longevityehr.com/biomarker-tracking) and manage [care plans](https://www.longevityehr.com/care-plans) built from the clinic's own templates. Sending the prescription is the piece in development. ## What to know before you plan around it Until it ships - Keep prescribing where you do today. Patient records, labs, care plans, scheduling and payments already run in LongevityEHR. - Record each patient's medications and allergies in the chart now, so they are in place when prescribing arrives. - Which prescription types and pharmacies will be supported is being settled while the feature is built. - Detailed scope and timing are shared in a demo, not promised on this page. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I prescribe from LongevityEHR today? Not yet. E-prescribing is in development. Today providers record a patient's medications and allergies in the chart and send prescriptions through the tool they already use. ### What is e-prescribing? E-prescribing means the prescriber sends the prescription electronically, straight to the pharmacy, instead of handing the patient a paper script. ### Will LongevityEHR dispense medications? No. LongevityEHR is not a pharmacy and is not built for in-house dispensing. E-prescribing is about writing and sending the prescription from the chart where the decision was made. ### Which prescription types and pharmacies will be supported? Those details are being settled while the feature is built, so we don't list them here. Book a demo and we'll walk you through the current scope. ### What else is in development alongside e-prescribing? [Lab ordering](https://www.longevityehr.com/lab-ordering) is the other large feature in development. Together they bring ordering tests and writing prescriptions into the same chart as results and plans.
