Abstract
Hospital electronic prescribing (or ePrescribing) systems have the potential to reduce drug-related morbidity and mortality. However, their implementation and adoption has been slow to date, despite the considerable service interest in implementing systems and the long-standing policy drive towards computerization. The underlying reasons may include the demise of the National Programme for Information Technology; a lack of change management expertise and capacity in the National Health Service (NHS); the relatively immature and fragmented market; limited standards guiding procurement, functional specifications and expected benefits; and lack of resources.
