The best time to catch a problem is before the script reaches the pharmacy.
A drug conflict, a four hundred dollar copay, a plan that demands prior authorization. With paper you learn about all of it after the patient leaves, when the pharmacy calls. HARRIS CareTracker ePrescribing puts medication cost, coverage, history, and safety checks in front of the provider at the moment of care, so the decision is informed before the prescription is ever sent.

Prescribing Bind Costs the Patient and the Practice
A provider signs a prescription with the information in front of them, which on paper is almost none. They cannot see that the plan will not cover it, that the copay will stop the patient at the counter, or that it clashes with a medication another doctor started last year. The gaps surface later, as a pharmacy callback, an abandoned prescription, or a safety event nobody caught.
The cost lands in two places. Staff burn hours on prior authorization phone tag and change requests, and patients walk away from medication they cannot afford, so the condition the visit was meant to treat goes unmanaged.
Put the Information Where the Decision Happens
HARRIS CareTracker electronic prescribing manages the full process with electronic prior authorization, medication history review, prescription changes and cancellations, and controlled substance prescribing through secure EPCS. The data a provider needs sits inside one prescribing workflow, not scattered across phone calls and portals.
Real time prescription benefit
Review medication cost, covered alternatives, and pharmacy options during the visit. Sharing that picture with the patient lets the provider choose something the patient can afford and cuts the prior authorization delays that paper invites.
Electronic prior authorization
When a plan requires prior authorization, the software runs the request and approval inside the prescribing workflow, so the answer comes back without a separate fax, form, or hold queue.
Prescription changes and cancellations
When a pharmacy asks for a change, a clarification, or a prior authorization response, your team handles it inside the eRx process instead of trading voicemails across the day.
Patient medication history
Import and review current prescriptions, past medications, and allergies before signing, so the provider sees a fuller profile and catches a conflict before it reaches the patient.
Pharmacy linking
Connect each patient to a preferred pharmacy with a click, searching by type including retail and mail order, so the script lands where the patient actually picks it up.
Controlled substances through EPCS
Create, sign, send, and track controlled substance prescriptions electronically with secure EPCS tools, so the riskiest prescriptions carry the tightest safeguards and a clean audit trail.

Prescribing that Lives Inside the Daily Workflow
A prescription card shows refill information, the assigned pharmacy, contact details, and status at a glance. A task view gathers the prescriptions that still need approval into one visual place, so nothing waits unseen.
Patients get a text when a prescription reaches the pharmacy or is ready for pickup, with medication education when it helps, and prescribers get an update when the patient actually fills it. The loop closes without a single phone call.
Cost Transparency is How Prescriptions Get Filled
High out of pocket cost is one of the main reasons patients abandon medication at the counter. HARRIS CareTracker gives prescribers patient specific benefit and cost information, plus formulary based pricing, for a large share of covered lives in the United States, drawn from pharmacy benefit managers and health plans.
When a provider can see price, coverage, and covered alternatives before sending the script, they can flag a prior authorization early, swap a brand the plan rejects for a covered option, and help the patient pick something they can afford. Affordability is what turns a prescription into a filled prescription, which is what steadier adherence and healthier outcomes depend on.
One Platform from the Script to the Statement
ePrescribing is part of the HARRIS CareTracker EHR, a clinical platform with customizable templates, immunization reporting, and population health management that cut paper based work. Connected information means fewer inconsistencies and less duplicate entry across the practice.
Past the EHR, HARRIS CareTracker connects clinical tools, patient experience solutions, and medical billing software in one cloud suite, so your practice runs clinical, administrative, and financial work from a unified platform with practice management and revenue cycle tracking in the same place.
Prescribe with the Full Picture, not a Paper Pad
HARRIS CareTracker ePrescribing shows cost, coverage, history, and safety checks before the script is sent, runs prior authorization in the workflow, and prescribes controlled substances securely through EPCS. Give providers what they need to choose right the first time, and give patients a prescription they can actually fill.
