If you're exploring e-prescribing software for your practice, one question rises above the rest:
Will this deliver real value—and how soon?
The answer: A well-designed e-prescribing system like ScriptSure starts delivering returns almost immediately. From faster workflows to fewer errors and better compliance, you’ll start to see efficiency gains that go beyond regulatory checkboxes.
Here’s how practices like yours see measurable ROI—fast.
What Does ROI Really Mean for eRx Software?
Return on investment (ROI) in healthcare tech isn’t just about saving money—it’s about improving efficiency, minimizing risk, and elevating care delivery.
- In the context of e-prescribing software, ROI includes:
- Time saved by providers and staff
- Reduction in medication errors and call-backs
- Fewer audit headaches with better compliance tools
- Increased patient satisfaction with faster, more accurate prescriptions
Some of these benefits are easy to quantify—others are felt through smoother operations and happier teams.
5 Ways Practices Realize ROI Quickly
- Time Saved Per Prescription
Prescribers and staff save minutes on every prescription:
- No more handwriting or phoning in scripts
- Refill management becomes a few clicks
- Real-time pharmacy communication reduces delays
Even saving 2 minutes per script = over 15 hours/month recaptured in a practice writing 500 scripts.
2. Lower Error Rates = Reduced Liability
With built-in clinical decision support:
- Drug-drug, allergy, and dose alerts help avoid mistakes
- Better safety reduces malpractice exposure
- Less time spent correcting pharmacy issues
3. Decreased Staff Workload
Administrative staff spend less time:
- Fielding prescription calls
- Handling paper faxes or transcriptions
- Following up with pharmacies
This lets small teams do more—without burnout.
4. Faster Compliance and Audit Readiness
Tools like EPCS tracking, DEA reporting, and digital logs make audits painless:
- Everything is stored securely
- ScriptSure generates reports in seconds
- Fewer hours spent preparing for inspections
5. Happier Patients, Higher Retention
Fewer errors and faster delivery improve the patient experience:
- Patients trust that their scripts will be filled correctly
- They avoid back-and-forth with pharmacies
- Positive experiences increase loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals
Sample ROI in Action
Let’s say your practice writes 500 prescriptions per month and ScriptSure helps you save:
- 2 minutes per script
- 10 hours/month of staff time
- $300–$500/month in reduced error corrections and call-backs
That’s over $6,000/year in recaptured value—and that’s before you factor in long-term gains in compliance and satisfaction.
A Real-World Example: ScriptSure in Action
When a multi-provider family practice in Ohio implemented ScriptSure, they:
- Cut refill processing time by 40%
- Reduced prescription errors by 85%
- Saved more than 20 hours of staff time monthly
Result? More time for patients and fewer headaches for providers.
What to Ask Vendors About ROI
- Before choosing an e-prescribing solution, ask:
- How soon can we expect to see measurable gains?
- What compliance features reduce our audit time?
- Are support, updates, and reporting included in the base cost?
- How will you help us track usage and efficiency?
If they can’t answer clearly, you’re not talking to a results-focused vendor.
