How can I get involved in driving e-prescribing adoption and use?
Many state-supported e-prescribing pilot
programs are designed to help contain the rising costs of
state-funded Medicaid programs. Other state initiatives focus more
broadly on developing programs to accelerate the adoption of
e-prescribing and EHRs and models to leverage regional health
information organizations (RHIOs).
E-prescribing is generally addressed in two different ways on the
state level. First, via a targeted approach where legislation
provides incentives for adoption and use of e-prescribing, or
creating demonstration projects to assess the financial and
efficiency gains of e-prescribing. Second, legislative approaches
sometimes roll e-prescribing requirements into larger health reform
bills.
