HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt announces e-prescribing pilot
E-Health Trend Watch, April 28, 2006
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Mike Leavitt announced that HHS would pay nearly $6 million to pilot-test e-prescribing standards. The standards may ultimately be adopted as the final standards used to create a system of electronic transmission of prescription information for Medicare Part D. Test states include New Jersey, Massachusetts, Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, Minnesota, and potentially Rhode Island. The pilot will include retail pharmacies, mail-order pharmacies, prescription benefit management plans, a health plan, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and office-based physicians.
