A literature search strategy using BOOLEAN Operator to help specify the search terms. Literature search based on inclusion criteria. After eliminating duplication, title, abstract and full text, 8 articles were obtained for analysis. The electronic prescribing system has a good role in health services, including reducing medication errors, improving the quality of communication and information both between staff and staff and patients, shortening service time, having an alert system that is able to detect allergies, drug interactions, and adverse drug reactions. desired, time and cost efficiency, effectiveness in terms of patient safety, providing satisfaction for users because with these qualified features they can help in terms of service when compared to manual prescriptions.
