It should not surprise anyone that we've seen a significant increase in e-prescribing at the national and state level between December 2008 and June 2012. According to the ONC, 48% of physicians are e-prescribing using an EHR on the Surescripts network. States that had the highest growth in percent...
AHRQ funded the development of two electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) implementation "toolsets;" one aimed at health care provider organizations, ranging from small independent offices to larger medical groups and "safety net" clinics, and the other aimed at independent pharmacies...
There are 340 medications stored inside and the machine does the filling of the script and the tele-pharmacist verifies the machine's calculations before giving the ok. So far the machine has not made any mistakes. I wrote about the company from Canada back in March of 2009 and additional details...
