While right medication is key to proper disease control, wrong prescription can harm human life
Writing prescriptions for the patients is one of the most inherent and crucial aspects of a doctor’s job. On daily basis, you must be writing different prescriptions for different patients. The prescriptions are the repository of all the medical history of the patients. It is essential for both the patients and the doctors to go through the prescription. However, being human, it is our tendency to forget things in due course. Many patients just miss to bring the prescriptions with them. However, medical writing software, like ‘Prescription Pad’ has made the job easy for the patients as well as the doctors.
Prescription writing is not merely putting few drug names on a piece of paper rather it is an art which can be attained only after years of experience, hard work & sound knowledge of the basic subject.
A report of July, 2006 by Institute of Medicine, USA concluded that medication errors harm 1.5 million people & kill several thousand each year in the USA, costing the nation at least 3.5 billion dollars annually. Recommendations to correct these problems include systemic changes like electronic prescribing, proper documentation & evidence based treatment protocols to follow. The gravity of the issue in developing and under developed nations is even far more serious.

Wrong Medicine Harms 1.5 m in US
WASHINGTON: Medication errors harm 1.5 million people and kill several thousand each year in the US, costing the nation at least $3.5 billion annually, the Institute of Medicine concluded in a report released on Thursday.
Drug errors are so widespread that hospital patients should expect to suffer one every day they remain hospitalised, although error rates vary by hospital and most do not lead to injury, the report concluded.
The report, Preventing Medication Errors, cited the death of Betsy Lehman, a 39-year-old mother of two and a health reporter for The Boston Globe, as a classic fatal drug mix-up.
Lehman died in 1993 after a doctor mistakenly gave her four times the appropriate dose of a toxic drug to treat her breast cancer.
Recommendations to correct these problems include systemic changes like electronic prescribing and tips for patients to carry complete listings of their prescriptions to every doctor's visit, the report said.
The incidence of medication errors was surprising even to us, said J Lyle Bootman, dean of the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy.
