Some Key Benefits of E-Prescribing and DrFirst
Services

• Patient safety
• ROI (formulary compliance, generic dispensing)
• Workflow
• Convenience

A new study by the Department of Health and
Human Services estimates that if 18 of doctors
in Medicare adopt e-prescribing, the government
will save 4 billion and nearly three million
adverse drug events can be prevented over five
years.
The benefits of e-prescribing are so important
that the Institute of Medicine has called for
every doctor and nurse to prescribe
electronically by the year 2010. Business and
labor leaders, health insurers and consumer
advocates are unanimous in their support of this
common-sense initiative.
If a majority of doctors don't e-prescribe a few
years down the road, the government should
require all doctors to adopt e-prescribing or
face financial penalties. E-prescribing should
become a condition of doing business with
Medicare.
