The Medical Office for the Twenty First Century (MOXXI) is a research project testing the potential benefits of an electronic prescription and drug management system for primary care physicians. This system includes a dynamic electronic pad for prescription entry with fields for treatment indications; a drug profiler with a graphic representation of the list of prescription medications purchased in the last year; a refill compliance calculator; dates of emergency room visits and hospital admissions; cost of drugs dispensed; and an alert system that detects interactions among drugs, treatment duplications, and contraindications with certain allergies or specific diseases. One concern expressed by physicians that could influence uptake and acceptability is the increased time that may be required to use the system. User abilities are a factor in this process, as well as user interface, user training and system speed.
