arrow eHealth and PharmaNet

A patient is discharged following a short stay in hospital.

As a result of the expansion of PharmaNet into the hospital environment and physician offices, the patient is confident that prescribed medications are safe and compatible with the medications their physician had previously prescribed.

This patient is aware that the surgeon and the pharmacist had to access the PharmaNet system when initiating the new prescription, and were notified about all the past and current medications that had been prescribed.
