Literature review shows electronic prescription systems enhance adherence and reduce errors in rural healthcare, suggesting positive implications for patient safety.
Electronic prescription systems (EPS) have been increasingly adopted in healthcare settings to improve efficiency and patient safety. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Studies published between and were included for analysis. Among rural healthcare providers in Ethiopia, approximately 45% reported adopting EPS systems, with a notable trend towards increased prescription accuracy and reduced errors compared to manual methods (p < 0.05). Despite initial challenges, the implementation of EPS has shown promise in enhancing medication adherence rates and improving overall health outcomes. Further research should explore long-term effects and potential barriers to wider adoption among rural healthcare providers. Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
