In the News: NY State is taking the lead in making e prescribing mandatory. As of March 27, 2016 it will be mandatory for practitioners, excluding veterinarians, to issue electronic prescriptions for controlled and non-controlled substances. These regulations became effective on March 27, 2013. Utilizing modern electronic prescription technology has the potential to minimize medication errors for patients in New York State. Electronic prescribing also allows for the integration of prescription records directly into the patient’s electronic medical record. Electronic prescribing has the potential to reduce prescription theft and forgery. Other States are now following NY State's e-prescribing mandate. Option 1: Our Medisoft Certified Electronic Health Records (EHR) software provides a cloud based E-prescribing option, which meets the current e-prescribing guidelines. Option 2: We also offer a stand-alone e-prescribing option as well for a minimum monthly fee! In both options, the patient demographics are automatically and securely synchronized with the electronic prescription system; this results in a secure and very efficient e-prescribing process for the physicians, since they do not have to re-enter the patient information prior to e-prescribing. Physicians can use their computers, tablets, or even their cell-phones to e-prescribe.
