ALEXANDRIA, VA – Electronic prescribing has seen significant growth in adoption and use of critical components, according to the annual National Progress Report on E-Prescribing.
The report, released by Alexandria, Va.-based Surescripts, documents the status of e-prescribing adoption and use in the United States from 2006 through 2008.
According to the report, more than 100,000 prescribers are now routing prescriptions electronically, and the use of three critical components of e-prescribing – electronic prescription benefit, history and routing – jumped 61 percent in the first quarter of 2009. This jump resulted in more than 134 million e-prescribing messages being exchanged among prescribers, payers and pharmacies. More Here http://ping.fm/I8mdK
