Drivers
Rising Demand for E-prescription System
Key factors driving the demand for such solutions are rising government funding for the implementation of EHR solutions and the need to minimize the escalating cost of health care. In addition, the worldwide COVID-19 epidemic has led to a greater number of patients in hospitals and the need to better monitor patient records. The need for these solutions is expected to further drive the market in the coming years.

Minimization of Prescription Errors
With growing levels of consumer knowledge, minimizing drug mistakes, enhancing health care efficiency, and reducing prices, businesses are seeking to innovate more goods to maintain competition. At the time of prescribing, in addition to providing patients with a full medical history, e-prescribing programs will further eliminate errors by incorporating alert and warning systems.

Restrain
High cost of E-Prescribing systems
Despite their advantages, due to the extremely high costs involved, end consumers remain reluctant to implement e-prescribing solutions. Costs are not limited to the one-time purchase of a device but can include ongoing costs such as implementation services, maintenance and support services, e-prescribing integration of EHR/EMR, and training and education in some cases. This restricts investment in e-prescribing solutions by smaller hospitals and office-based physicians, especially in the emerging APAC and Latin American markets.
