We run a non-profit clinic for low-income folks. We don’t have an EHR. DocUpdate looked like a good option, but after prescribing a medication, I have no way to document it in our paper chart other than hand-writing in a note = writing the prescription again. DocUpdate does not have a way to print out the prescription! When I pointed this out to them, they advised me to take a screenshot. But it doesn’t include the patient’s name. When I pointed out the shortcomings of this, I was told that DocUpdate does not integrate with EHRs. If I had an EHR, I wouldn’t be trying DocUpdate. Ridiculous! My advice, if you’re looking for e-prescribing for your paper medical records, look elsewhere. If you have an EHR, use it. For prescribing, I don’t see a reason for DocUpdate to exist, at least in the current version.
