American College of Cardiology Supports E-Prescription Mandate

The American College of Cardiology is separating itself from a number of other physician groups by favoring a mandate for Medicare physicians to adopt electronic prescriptions, Modern Healthcare reports.

ACC said it supports the mandate because it has moved quicker than other physician groups in embracing e-prescribing. Many cardiologists are part of large physician practices that already have adopted the technology, Jack Lewin, CEO of ACC, said.

A Senate Medicare bill likely will include a financial penalty for physicians who do not adopt e-prescribing technology, Modern Healthcare reports. http://ping.fm/AWG7j
