Hmmm, except my doctors - in their 30's and 40's and 50's - must have received plenty of good ole fashioned instruction in handwriting. What went wrong!?
Instead, I'd prefer a web app that allows my doctor's office to connect directly to the pharmacy. Heck, a good one wouldn't require any text even - point and click on the medication.
As an interesting sidenote-- Kaiser Permanente implemented this point-and-click pharmacy ordering a while ago, and supposedly cut their prescription mistakes by 95% and saved almost forty lives lives last year.
