Increasing adoption of healthcare IT is expected to drive the e-prescribing market revenue

Innovation in healthcare IT including increasing use of the Application Program Interface (API) to improve interoperability, the ability to access and interact with health data via mobile devices to better access and secure medical records are the major driving factors for e-prescribing market growth. Demand for e-prescription is growing with increasing adoption of healthcare IT in medical field. According to the Surescripts, a healthcare information network, the number of U.S. e-prescribers increased to 8% in 2017 from 2016 and the number of prescribers for controlled substances increased 59% in 2017 from 2016.

Moreover, various advantages offered by e-prescribing in comparison to paper-based prescription also play major role in growth of e-prescribing market. For instance, e-prescribing eliminates handwriting errors/illegibility and offers both physician and pharmacist access to a patient’s prescription history to reduce the chance of wrong drugs being dispensed. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 2018 report, over 95,000 prescription drug errors have occurred since 2000, mainly due to mistakes in reading a handwritten prescription and dispensing a similar-sounding, but different drug.

e-Prescribing Market Restraints

Despite several benefits offered by e-prescribing for healthcare professionals and patients, not all providers are implementing these system due to factors such as high cost of healthcare IT and requirement of skilled professionals. e-Prescribing systems require basic technological infrastructure and training for installation and maintenance, which also increases the financial burden of their implementation. Moreover, the risk of data breach is also restraining the e-Prescribing market growth.

Asia Pacific e-prescribing market is expected to witness growth at the highest CAGR, owing to increasing demand for e-prescription to avoid prescription related errors coupled with increasing prevalence of various diseases among the regional population. According to a study published by PLoS ONE journal in 2015, medication errors in Southeast Asia found a medication administration error rate of over 88.6% and a prescribing error rate of up to 35.4%. These errors were caused due to heavy workloads of Southeast Asia healthcare professionals, misinterpretation of medical chart information, and lack of decision support information.
