Feature
e-Prescribing software built into the workflow you already use
Send prescriptions electronically without leaving the chart — interaction checking, refill and change requests, and fill tracking, powered by NewCrop.
Prescribe without leaving the chart
New prescriptions, renewals, and changes happen in the same screen as the rest of the visit.
Interaction checks at the moment it matters
Allergy and interaction checks run as the prescription is written — the only point they can actually change the decision.
Fewer pharmacy phone calls
Change and refill requests arrive as a task in the system instead of a callback pulling a provider out of a room.
Prescribing shouldn't mean leaving the chart to open a separate application, or picking up the phone every time a pharmacy has a question.
Criterions e-prescribing, powered by NewCrop, runs inside the workflow you're already in — and it's available whether your practice runs Criterions EHR, Practice Management, or both, which is unusual in a category where eRx is almost always tied to the clinical chart alone.
In-Chart Workflow
Prescribe, renew, and resolve pharmacy questions without leaving the chart
New prescriptions, renewals, and change requests all happen in the same place as the rest of the visit. When a pharmacy sends back a change or refill request, it arrives as a task in the system rather than as a phone call your front desk has to route to a provider who is with a patient.
That routing is where most of the time actually goes. The prescription itself takes seconds; the four interruptions afterward are what cost the afternoon.
Safety Checks
Interaction and allergy checking at the point of prescribing
Interaction and allergy checks run against the patient's active medication and problem lists as the prescription is written, not as a separate reconciliation step later — which is the only point at which the check can actually change the decision.
Fill Tracking
Know when a prescription is actually filled
Rx Fill Notification checks national pharmacy databases and lets the physician know when a patient has filled a prescription, giving your practice a way to track medication compliance and follow up before a scheduled visit rather than after a problem shows up.
Because Criterions modules are licensed separately, e-prescribing is available alongside Practice Management as well as the EHR. For a practice running the billing side with Criterions and clinical elsewhere, that's a path most vendors in this category simply don't offer.
Frequently asked questions
What is e-prescribing software?+
e-Prescribing software lets a provider send a prescription directly to a pharmacy electronically instead of writing or calling it in. It typically includes interaction and allergy checking against the patient's current medications, plus electronic handling of renewal and change requests coming back from the pharmacy.
Who powers Criterions e-prescribing?+
Criterions e-prescribing is powered by NewCrop.
Do I need Criterions EHR to use e-prescribing?+
No. e-Prescribing is available with Criterions EHR and with Criterions Practice Management.
Can I cancel or change a prescription after it's sent?+
Yes. Physicians can send a cancellation directly from the chart when a prescription is no longer needed, and pharmacies can submit change requests — for insurance coverage issues or suggested alternatives — that the physician approves, replaces, or denies from within the system, without a phone call.
Can I tell if a patient actually filled their prescription?+
Yes. Rx Fill Notification checks national pharmacy databases and notifies the physician when a patient fills a prescription, so medication compliance can be tracked ahead of a follow-up visit.
The prescription takes seconds — the interruptions take the afternoon
Most of what e-prescribing actually saves isn't the writing. It's the pharmacy callback that pulls a provider out of a room, the refill request that sits on a sticky note, and the change request nobody sees until the patient calls to say the medication wasn't there.
Running eRx inside the chart turns each of those into a task in a queue instead of an interruption in a hallway, with interaction and allergy checking happening at the moment the decision is being made rather than afterward.
Over 250 practices and billing companies run on Criterions, and e-prescribing is available with either core product — so if you're running billing with us and clinical elsewhere, it's still on the table. Worth twenty minutes on a demo to see how it fits your setup.
