E-prescribing - a prescriber's ability to electronically send an accurate, error-free and understandable prescription directly to a pharmacy from the point-of-care - is an important element in improving the quality of patient care. Today, electronic prescribing in the U.S. is conducted via the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange, a neutral electronic network operated by SureScripts. Though the number of e-prescription transactions is growing rapidly, it is still a small fraction of the prescriptions and renewals that were eligible for electronic routing in 2007.
