There has never been a better time for physicians and practice management professionals to consider e-prescribing. As of October 1, 2008 all written Medicaid prescriptions must be on a tamper-resistant blank. Electronic prescriptions are excluded from this requirement. E-Prescribing also gives you the ability to receive prescription refill authorization requests directly to your computer. You can then review and respond to all of your pending requests with a few keystrokes. This streamlined process reduces pharmacy faxes and phone calls and allows you to complete refill authorizations in much less time.
The information on this site is intended to help illustrate how e-prescribing can improve practice efficiency while enhancing safety. By completing a brief technology assessment, you can generate a customized Guide to Selecting E-Prescribing Technology that includes listings of e-prescribing solutions that meet your stated needs, questions to ask the vendors as you begin evaluating various solutions and an estimate of the time and money you are currently spending annually on the managing the refill authorization process. You can also request additional product information/demos directly from the site.
