Catch dispensing errors before they reach patients.
SAV E-Rx independently analyzes prescription data in real time, helping community pharmacy teams identify high-risk data-entry errors before dispensing. It works alongside—not in place of—your existing pharmacy management software.

Meet SAV E-Rx
A second set of eyes for every prescription.
SAV E-Rx works alongside—not in place of—your existing pharmacy management software. Its evidence-based safety rules independently compare prescribed and dispensed data to flag potential errors that deserve a pharmacist’s attention.
Independent safety net
Sits outside your pharmacy management software as an added safety layer—it does not replace that software.
Real-time prioritization
Surfaces high-risk discrepancies while pharmacists can still prevent patient harm.
Workflow-aware
Designed to support community pharmacy teams without replacing their established process.
How it works
Three steps to safer dispensing.
Screen every record
SAV E-Rx compares prescribed and dispensed medication data using evidence-based safety logic.
Prioritize meaningful risk
Potentially significant discrepancies are surfaced for focused pharmacist review.
Intervene with context
The pharmacy team reviews the alert, verifies the prescription, and takes the appropriate action.
Published results
Evidence from real community pharmacy data.
The peer-reviewed BMJ Health & Care Informatics study evaluated SAV E-Rx using retrospective prescription data and pharmacist review.

Enhancing medication safety with System Approach to Verifying Electronic Prescriptions (SAV E-Rx): pharmacists' review of product selection outcomes between prescribed and dispensed medications
Gong J, Marshall VD, Whitaker M, Rowell B, Dorsch MP, Bagian JP, Lester CA
A retrospective analysis of 1,250,804 records from 14 community pharmacies across 9 US states. SAV E-Rx screened data and identified 662 flagged mismatches; 75 (11.3%) were classified as unintended errors, primarily stemming from human factors. Demonstrates SAV E-Rx as an effective, automated safety net.

Handing off electronic prescription data from prescribers to community pharmacies: A qualitative analysis of pharmacy staff perspectives
Whitaker M, Lester C, Rowell B
Semi-structured interviews with 15 community pharmacy staff revealed that data entry is predominantly a human-reliant process with significant error risk at the product selection stage. Identified the critical need for automated tools to support e-prescription data entry.
