Great way to help reduce medication eras as well. There may be problems in some states, but most will allow E-prescribing of control med(except CII); similar to previuos comment; Its liked faxing legally.

Because he can’t afford them! I found a prescription discount card that helps lower the cost of prescription medications for people who don’t have health insurance. It’s at www.rxdrugcard.com. The membership fee is only $4.50 a month. Drug prices are shown on that website to check before you enroll. You can save up to 80%. Generics and brand-name drugs are both covered.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745063098617886577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-19565186096385436342008-03-25T17:35:00.000-07:002008-03-25T17:35:00.000-07:00The MA-Share gateway connects to RxHub, Surescript...The MA-Share gateway connects to RxHub, Surescripts, and local payers which do not participate in RxHub.

For the inpatient-to-ambulatory eRx transactions, did you make use of the HL7-NCPDP ePrescribing Mapping Guidance Document to do this? If so, what was your experience with using that document and do you think it needs another update (substantive or minor)?Ross Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133264758384138110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-22366646632795627392008-03-25T01:54:00.000-07:002008-03-25T01:54:00.000-07:0090% of all 140 million annually produced RXS in Th...90% of all 140 million annually produced RXS in The Netherlands are digitally sent from the GP's IS (that produce 80% of all recurring prescriptions) to the Pharmacy's IS. The issues you are currently experiencing in the US are just startup problems, that will eventually be overcome (notwithstanding the need for an adjusted law on digital prescription). <BR/><BR/>With more and more patient centered health information becoming digitized, the (economic) added value of pharmacies will also perish.Bart Jaspershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192960180954131532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-79625595109406658892008-03-24T12:48:00.000-07:002008-03-24T12:48:00.000-07:00Massachusetts has a DEA exemption 2008-2009, run b...Massachusetts has a DEA exemption 2008-2009, run by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, to pilot the e-prescribing of scheduled medications in one community.

We too are interested in ePrescribing. However, we have only one clinic that has attempted to use it and they gave it up after three months of hassle.<BR/><BR/>The problem is with scheduled medications which by FDA guidelines must be written prescriptions. The clinics that wanted (and still want to use it) are either internal medicine or family practice. They found that well over 50% of their scripts were for scheduled medications that could not be done through ePrescribing through eCW interface. This was very disturbing and therefore we are on hold until the scheduled medication issue is resolved.Doug Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12209052374416352973noreply@blogger.com
