Majority of Community Pharmacies Enabled to Accept E-Prescriptions
The majority of community pharmacies in the United States are enabled to accept e-prescriptions, and almost half of physicians are now using e-prescribing, according to a new report from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. “From December 2008 through June 2012, community pharmacies enabled to accept e-prescriptions increased from 76% to 94%,” indicates the report. In the same time period, the amount of physicians in the US that are e-prescribing using electronic health record technology increased from 7% to 48%. The report also indicates that about 45% of new and renewal prescriptions were sent electronically in 2012. The complete report (PDF) is available on the HealthIT.gov Web site.
