Healthcare Organizations Release Updated Guide to e-Prescribing

Five partner organizations issued an updated 2011 edition of A Clinician’s Guide to Electronic Prescribing.

This “how-to” guide helps health care professionals make informed decisions about how and when to transition from paper to e-prescribing systems. First created in 2008, the new edition of the Guide includes information on the changing healthcare information technology (HIT) environment. The guide is the result of a collaborative effort by the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American College of Physicians (ACP), the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), e-Health Initiative (e-HI), and the Center for Improving Medication Management (CIMM).
