Some Key Benefits of E-Prescribing and DrFirst Services • Patient safety • ROI (formulary compliance, generic dispensing) • Workflow • Convenience “A new study by the Department of Health and Human Services estimates that if 18% of doctors in Medicare adopt e-prescribing, the government will save $4 billion and nearly three million adverse drug events can be prevented over five years.” The benefits of e-prescribing are so important that the Institute of Medicine has called for every doctor and nurse to prescribe electronically by the year 2010. Business and labor leaders, health insurers and consumer advocates are unanimous in their support of this common-sense initiative. “If a majority of doctors don't e-prescribe a few years down the road, the government should require all doctors to adopt e-prescribing or face financial penalties. E-prescribing should become a condition of doing business with Medicare. E-Prescriptions, WSJ, John Kerry & Newt Gingrich, November 16, 2007; Page A20
