Abstract
A computing system for redirecting electronic prescription refills is disclosed herein. A server computer device executing an electronic health records application constructs an electronic prescription for a patient and causes the electronic prescription to be routed to a first pharmacy device of a first pharmacy. The electronic prescription includes at least one refill. Subsequently, the server computing device receives an identifier for the electronic prescription and an identifier for a second pharmacy from a second server computing device executing a patient portal application, wherein the identifier for the second pharmacy is specified by the patient. The server computing device identifies the electronic prescription, determines a number of refills remaining on the electronic prescription, and constructs a second electronic prescription including the number of refills. The server computing device then causes the second electronic prescription to be routed to a second pharmacy device of the second pharmacy.
