Practical Guidance on Accelerating the Use of Electronic Prescribing to Improve the Quality, Safety and Efficiency of Health Care
The eHealth Initiative in collaboration with the Center for Improving Medication Management, with the strategic guidance and input from a diverse Steering Group made up of the many stakeholders in health care, including clinicians, consumers, employers, health plans, health IT vendors and pharmacists and pharmacies, has developed a series of reports designed to help the U.S. health care system transition from a largely paper-based system of prescribing to electronic prescribing, to support more effective medication management.
A series of guides and reports have been issued over the last four months to support the effective adoption of e-prescribing to drive improvements in the quality, safety and effectiveness of health care:
- Electronic Prescribing: Becoming Mainstream Practice
- A Clinician's Guide to Electronic Prescribing
- A Consumer's Guide to Electronic Prescribing
- A Guide for Health Care Payers to Improve the Medication Management Process
