Beginning in 2009 and continuing during the four years that follow, Medicare will provide incentive payments to eligible professionals who are successful electronic prescribers as defined by the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA).
Electronic Prescribing , or e-prescribing, enables healthcare professionals to generate prescriptions which are electronically routed to the local pharmacy instead of writing prescriptions on paper. It helps improves patient safety because prescriptions are accurately entered into a digital system that can check for possible harmful interactions. E-prescribing can also result in fewer errors and streamlined communications with pharmacies significantly reducing callbacks.
E-prescribing can be integrated with EMR systems so that patient records include a thorough account of prescription history. While e-prescribing benefits are many, changing from a paper-based prescription system to an e-prescribing solution can be an intimidating prospect. You want to make sure that the new system will simplify operations in your organization rather than add another layer of complexity. Plus, it must be reliable, easy-to-use and stay within your budget.
