Found on Histalk

"A Kaiser article notes complaints of e-prescribing doctors, including security log-outs, inability to prescribe Schedule II drugs, and patient histories that aren’t current. One of the 50 doctors involved in a Shared Health pilot in Tennessee went back to paper. Another practice reports a 20% failure rate of prescriptions sent electronically, meaning patients show up at the drugstore and their prescription isn’t there."

By coincident, here's an article that appeared in the local paper (7/1, Knoxville, Tennessee) quoting some of the same people. Obviously, it's slant is more positive thought you would be interested in seeing this.
