ePrescribing in the National News!
Five of the nation’s leading physician groups announced the launch of a new program designed to help more physicians begin sending prescriptions to pharmacies electronically. Electronic prescribing, or “e-prescribing,” replaces the need for handwritten, printed or faxed prescriptions and is seen as a more accurate and efficient means of prescribing medications

www.GetRxConnected.com

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) are launching an online portal – www.GetRxConnected.com – where physicians can follow a step-by-step process designed to help them transition from paper-based prescribing to e-prescribing.  

Electronic prescribing can improve prescription accuracy, increase patient safety and reduce costs, as well as enable secure, bi-directional, electronic connectivity between physician practices and pharmacies. Just one of the benefits of electronic prescribing is the ability to automate the renewal authorization process, which is extremely time-consuming and labor intensive for both pharmacies and prescribers in today’s paper world!
