MD Toolbox helpful
Pros:
Very user friendly. Customer service is located in US and answer promptly
Cons:
sometimes defaults to the last pharmacy used when I don't want that
Alternatives Considered:
Satisfies the need
Pros:
It does have a mobile version on the web page.
Cons:
No actual Android App. Very difficult to add to anything on mobile.
You need it if you are a MD
Comments: When I started to learn about prescriptions, it was hard to remember every single detail. But with this app I don’t waste my time writing or trying to find an old prescription
Pros:
The prescribing feature it helps me a lot when I need to prescribe drugs to a pacient that isn’t in the hospital
Cons:
I mean they could improve some calculators to get the glomerular filtration or IMC
I like MDT, using since end 2018.
Comments: Their customer service is easily reached and most helpful.
Pros:
Ease of use, security features, reliable transmission most of the time, it's fast, it's always improving.
Cons:
Really provides a service that I need and I have no other with which to compare.
Completely satisfied with MDToolbox-Rx
Comments: I use this program daily and makes my job much more streamlined. This program reduces the chances of having prescriptions taken, destroyed, or lost. Overall, I''ve had no complaints on this program and I would recommend it to any provider looking for a safe and effective way to prescribe medications.
Pros:
I like how this program because it is easy and straightforward in terms of use. It includes all of the medications I have chosen to prescribe and offers many other added features. Our practice prescribes MAT (medicated assisted treatment).Prescribing straight to pharmacies without problems with either sending/receiving has been invaluable. The patients appreciate the service as much as we do.
Cons:
There are not really any cons so far. I have been completely pleased.
Better than I expected
Comments: searching for an eRx and not having my practice in an institution it was confusing finding an application and learning what steps are needed to be validated to prescribe. That wasn't a function of mdtoolbox but of learning what I would need mdtoolbox or any provider of eRx solutions to provide. MDToolbox handled that process. Although there are a few rough spots setting up and then using the application has been much less complicated and difficult than I had expected. There were a couple instances when I couldn't locate the pharmacy from their list. I contacted support which helped me find what I needed. not intuitive at those instances but otherwise has been useful effective and easy. Also cost though significant isn't crazy.
Pros:
once each patient's demographics are input and the first medication is prescribed it is generally very easy to repeat. with controlled meds there is the second step to validate but that is also fairly quick and easy. it took a little while to figure out once a med is chosen to refill what the steps are to check two boxes and then select "complete" to prepare sending the rx. sometimes a patient's name isn't listed when sending a prescription but the "search patient" option works. It sometimes isn't visible for some reason but when scrolling the patient list it eventually shows up.
Cons:
sometimes the app selects a different pharmacy such as one used months earlier. other times it can be nearly impossible to find the correct pharmacy in the app especially with large chain pharmacies with many stores...sometimes store number helps make sure it's the right pharmacy and searching is almost always better not entering normal identifying information but DO ENTER THE ZIP CODE FIRST THING. After using the application for a long time I discovered that I can make pharmacies favorite pharmacy one or two or three for the patient....and have each patient have a short list of repeatedly used pharmacies. Not at all easy to provide instructions for compounded medications.
A good product for medical-psychiatric practice
Comments: Knowing that I had to find an electronic prescription in California to prescribe control drugs, MDToolbox-Rx was the first one I encountered and was recommended by fellow physicians in other specialties, soon after I began to gain experience with MdToolbox-RX I began to prescribe all the medications and now I very seldom use a paper perscription
Pros:
The login to get to the program where all my patients are located is simple, very safe, and protects the privacy of the patient and myself. The fact that you have a complete history of the patienet medications is an excellent tool to determine if patienet have been taking the medications regularly as prescribed
Cons:
So far, I have not had any bad experiences when I use the MDtoolbox-RX it provide a sense of comfort knowing the te pharmacy and only the pharmacy knows the medication plan and as I select a patient is right on my eyes
Easiet eRx tool
Comments: Love the ease of use and the security of it. Intuitive platform. Alerts you when a pharmacy requests a refil.
Pros:
It is very easy to log in and prescribe medications for patients. It is intuitive and easy to navigate. Controlled substance prescribing works well on the desktop version. I have recommended it to several colleagues who have really liked it as well.
Cons:
The mobile version is clunky. Can't prescribe controlled substances from it. Does not allow for facial recognition sign. Would be great if it can be integrated with EMR.
Clinician's Perspective of MDToolbox
Comments: Excellent. I rely on this tool very heavily in my practice, and recommend it to others needing an EPCS-capable prescribing tool.
Pros:
Very easy to use, and quite reliable. The EPCS capability is a huge plus for my practice.
Cons:
Sometimes difficult to find particular pharmacies.
MDToolbox, better than others
Comments: Generally I have quick access to prescriptions and can adjust them easily, especially compared to other programs I have to use outside of my practice.
Pros:
Once it was set up, prescription writing is easy and seamless, including sending controlled medications.
Cons:
Initial setup and periodic missing records, or misplacementout of date order.
Solid e-Rx application
Comments: When I first started using it, it was a required part of the facility where I was working. I liked it enough that when I left there, I continued to subscribe for it on my own for my own private practice. It met and exceeded my expectations.
Pros:
Level of detail that remains tightly organized
Cons:
Uncertainty about whether I will be able to integrate it into the EMR of my choosing
Great customer service and user friendly
Pros:
They provide fast efficient customer service which I have used several times. This is very important to me. And, the fact that it is user friendly and was easy to set up is a huge plus. I am not very tech savvy so this is very important to me.
Cons:
It does not integrate with the EHR that I use, but that is a minimal issue and not that high on my priority list.
A great platform
Pros:
Easy to use and easy for our staff to use.
Cons:
I have no complaints about the system. The customer service is fantastic.
Happy to have found MD Toolbox
Comments: It has been good experience. Patients like that I can get it to the pharmacy before they go, and sometimes they don't have to wait as long to pick up.
Pros:
As a single provider optometry office it is a more cost effective way to stay on compliance with e-scribing.
Cons:
I like writing paper RX. So nothing with MD Toolbox, but any on line e-scribe.
