MyRxPad is a prototype application developed at the National Library of Medicine that helps prescribers lower some of the e-prescribing adoption barriers and encourages an early positive experience of e-prescribing. We envision a practitioner-patient collaborative approach towards e-prescribing: patients play an active role in their healthcare by maintaining up-to-date and accurate medication lists. Prescribers make well-informed and safe prescribing decisions based on personal medication records contributed by patients. In the paper, we discuss the development of MyRxPad, a vehicle for collaborations with patients using MyMedicationList. Integration with personal medication records in the context of e-prescribing is thus enabled. An early version of MyRxPad is available at http://rxp.nlm.nih.gov.
