It seemed as if someone had decided to declare last week e-Prescribing Week in Washington.
There were rumors that a forthcoming Medicare bill in the Senate Finance Committee would require doctors to use e-prescribing in a trade-off for getting higher fees for their services.
Then a high-level advisory committee recommended that the Health and Human Services Department seek permission from Congress to mandate e-prescribing in Medicare. The Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled a hearing this week on that same barrier —the Drug Enforcement Administration’s rules that prohibit e-prescribing of controlled substances such as narcotics.
E-prescribing not only transmits prescriptions electronically from a doctor to a pharmacy but also eliminates reliance on doctors’ notoriously poor handwriting.
