(2006-01-03) Holt Eprescribing

Matthew Holt notes that ePrescribing (Online Prescribing) has now been connected to pharmacies and formulary information by the Sure Scripts and Rx Hub networks. They are also available as standalone applications that a physician can adopt without needing to buy a full EMR. And Medicare is pushing ePrescribing as part of its Part D initiative. Expect to see more physicians coming on board in the next year.
