Approving prescriptions is an integral part of patient care. Accurate review is important in prescription approval to ensure that prescribed medication is appropriate and safe for patients. Standardized prescription approval processes prevent medication errors, improve patient safety, and optimize pharmacy operations. The approval process requires verification of prescription details, checks for potential drug interactions, and obtaining approvals from healthcare providers or pharmacists. 

Manual review involves complete checking of patient records, cross-referencing with existing medications, and lengthy back and forth communication between prescribers and pharmacists. This process is also time consuming and ridden with errors. Any delay in prescription approval that results from manual review, leads to prolonged patient wait times, reduced pharmacy efficiency, and increased risk of inconsistencies. 

When prescription approval is automated, all the challenges in manual processing are tackled and timely and accurate approvals are assured. When prescription approval is automated, steps like handling of prescription detail verification, routing requests to appropriate users, and checking for potential drug interactions are carried out efficiently.
