NEWS The first electronic prescription has been signed, sealed and delivered via healthcare portal, PlanexRx.com. Lyle Berkowitz, a physician based in Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago, wrote out a prescription on 21 January and sent it securely to PlanetRx, using the @Rx prescription management service. Berkowitz said the entire process took less than 30 seconds and ensured there were no handwriting errors or unwelcome drug interactions. The medication was delivered this week by the PlanetRx dispensary in Memphis, Tennessee.
