1. A system for converting an electronic prescription into a pharmacy prescription record, the system comprising:
a database storing a list of predetermined prescriber instruction components;
a server computer communicatively coupled to a communication network, wherein the server computer is configured to:
receive an electronic prescription using electronic records, wherein the electronic prescription is generated using an electronic prescribing system, and wherein the electronic prescription includes at least one of: a prescriber information, a dosage component or a frequency component;
compare (i) the dosage component of the electronic prescription to the dosage component of the predetermined prescriber instruction components, and (ii) the frequency component of the electronic prescription to the frequency component of the predetermined prescriber instruction components;
translate (i) the dosage component of the electronic prescription to a translated dosage component, and (ii) the frequency component of the electronic prescription to a translated frequency component;
combine the translated dosage component of the electronic prescription and the translated frequency component of the electronic prescription into a combined component that is compatible with the pharmacy prescription record, wherein at least one of: (i) the dosage component of the electronic prescription is different from the dosage component of the predetermined prescriber instruction components, or (ii) the frequency component of the electronic prescription is different from the predetermined prescriber instruction components; and
