Nine out of 10 pharmacies in the U.S. can accept electronic prescriptions, and approximately seven out of 10 physicians are e-prescribing through EHRs.
To help boost and support e-prescription use, the ONC has released a guide called "A Prescription for e-Prescribers: Getting the Most Out of Electronic Prescribing."
The guide offers resources to learn more about and improve e-prescribing at every step of the process, from identifying the patient to selecting the drug to authorizing and signing to the pharmacy review process.
