More doctors are using e-prescribing

According to the information gathered by Surescripts’ annual audit of electronic prescribing, more and more doctors are using e-prescribing. This is a big increase from what it was 3 years ago. This is great news for us pharmacists because this will eliminate errors due to poor handwriting. For now, Florida is not one of the top 10 states that utilizes this system but hopefully as new and young physicians enter the work force, e-prescribing will be the dominant way of writing prescriptions.
