IBM has been doing massive investments into this space. There are still lots of problems and you can't completely replace things such as specialists.
>refill via e-prescription
No, no, no, absolutely not. This is a horrible idea. IMMEDIATELY, when you let robots prescribe medicine without any human interference, two things will happen:
>Immediate posts on drug forums saying things like "I found out if you give inputs X, Y, and Z, you get a giant prescription for Xanax, Ambien, and Adderall"
>Any small bug can be massively magnified into potentially prescribing the wrong medication to literally MILLIONS of patients
There has to be human involvement at some point in the process.
