E-Discovery of Drug Prescriptions

"PHARMACY SOFTWARE VENDORS DECLARE SUPPORT FOR E-PRESCRIBING.  Thirteen of the leading pharmacy software companies in the U.S. declared their support today for electronic prescribing and detailed efforts to connect more independent pharmacists to the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange. . . .  The announcement comes on the heels of new research that tracked the number of prescriptions received by pharmacies before and after physicians began using electronic prescribing. The research showed an 11 percent increase in new prescriptions filled after physicians began e-prescribing.  Conducted by SureScripts and Walgreens using prescriber data from IMS Health, the research links a physician prescribing electronically, or "e-prescribing", to more of that physician?s prescriptions making it to the pharmacy. . . ."
