Round 2 on handwritten prescriptions..a picture tells a 1000 words and this example clearly brings this right to light...Why are physicians not taking advantage of the free e-prescribing offered by the National e-prescribing initiative? There is a permanent link on this site to the page for information and enrollment. Some physicians are already using other plans that have been commercially purchased with an EMR or simply sold separately. It continues to boggle my mind as to why more physicians haven't at least given this a try - IT IS FREE! The handwriting is so poor that this website has a a test going on to see who can accurately read this stuff! I'm glad it's not my script to give to a pharmacist. BD
