MA-based collaborative brings nearly 3,000 docs to e-Rxing
EHR Connection, February 17, 2005
In its first year, the Massachusetts-based eRx Collaborative has recruited nearly 2,700 physicians and their clinical staffs to use e-prescribing.
The collaborative, an initiative to improve patient safety through e-prescribing founded by Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA and Tufts Health Plan plans to implement e-prescribing in the offices of at least 3,400 Massachusetts physicians and will extend its funding through the end of 2005.
Currently, more than 1,500 physicians have the technology incorporated into their practices. More than 27,000 e-prescriptions per week were written in December of 2004, a 77% increase over numbers in September.
