Progress on ePrescribing: An Industry Merger and a DEA Announcement
This Health Industry Insights NewsFlash finds that two recent announcements combine to herald unprecedented progress in the drive to promote U.S. eprescribing adoption. The announcements included:
Publication by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on June 27, 2008, of proposed regulations to allow the eprescribing of controlled substances
Announcement on July 1, 2008, of a merger between the two leading U.S. eprescribing health information networks, SureScripts and RxHub
In combination, these developments will facilitate widespread adoption of eprescribing technology by streamlining the processes for eprescribing, improving the documentation and dispensing process, and facilitating the development and testing of eprescribing technology.
