Each day millions of patients contact their doctor or healthcare provider requesting a prescription renewal or a new prescription. This requires making a phone call to their doctor’s office to make the prescription request. In most cases the doctor is busy seeing patients and the prescription request is logged for the doctor to review and approve in between patient visits. Meanwhile, the patient often ends up calling the doctor’s office back throughout the day to check on the status of the prescription and to find out if the prescription will be filled. In most cases the prescription is filled but the medical staff had not had time to contact the patient and inform them that the prescription was processed. This can lead to aggravation between the patient and the medical staff.
