2012 CMS e-Prescribing Program (MIPPA) Changes • Sites with RPMS Pharmacy package • Should be able to meet the new 2012 definitions for a Qualified eRx system as long as the providers are actively using EHR to order prescriptions that are electronically received/processed by the in-house pharmacy. • Sites with NO onsite pharmacy • Will need to implement the new RPMS/EHR e-Prescribing functionality. • This new functionality will give them the ability to use the certified EHR to electronically transmit prescriptions from the local site to community pharmacy via the Surescripts network. • At this time sites not using the new e-Rx functionality will not meet the definition of e-Prescribing since they are still writing/verbally communicating with the community pharmacies. • Sites with an onsite pharmacy using a commercial pharmacy package • Will also need to implement the new RPMS/EHR e-Prescribing functionality to meet the requirements • The new functionality will allow them to use the certified EHR to transmit electronic prescriptions from the clinic side to the commercial pharmacy package using the Surescripts network.
