Moore J - E-prescribing is in a bit of a bind. The practice is caught between a federal directive that aims to encourage adoption and another that serves to inhibit use. On the promotional side, the e-prescribing provision of the recently passed Medicare bill provides incentives for doctors to use the technology for Medicare patients and a financial punishment for those who don’t.
