Sending an electronic prescription is convenient for your patients and helps your practice avoid mistakes, delays, and safety risks associated with written prescriptions. For offices that use electronic prescriptions through Dentrix Ascend ePrescribe, you can assign a dental assistant or hygienist as a proxy user so they can enter electronic prescriptions for a provider.
