Electronic Prescribing: Building, Deploying and Using ePrescribing to Save Lives and to Save Money

A new white paper on ePrescribing released by the Center for Health Transformation presents a comprehensive look at the technology, its benefits in saving lives and saving money, and how to overcome the barriers to its widespread adoption. The paper provides policymakers and industry leaders comprehensive information on the benefits of ePrescribing, supporting the Institute of Medicine’s recommendation for all prescriptions to be written electronically by 2010. The paper includes experiences, perspectives and analyses that conclude that ePrescribing is an intelligent, efficient technology that improves patient safety and saves money by eliminating the inefficiencies of a paper-based system.

InterComponentWare contributed its knowledge in ePrescribing to this paper that was written collaboratively by members of the Center for Health Transformation.
