Course Overview
This CME activity was developed
from the archives of the presentations recorded at the CMS National
E-Prescribing Conference held on October 7, 2008 in Boston, MA. For a
complete list of courses developed from this event, go to www.massmed.org/cme/CMS_eprescribing.
There are ways to optimize
E-prescribing adoption based upon your environment. Whether you work at
a commercial institution or a private practice, electronic prescription
technology can change and improve your service. The speakers from the
three presentation sessions discuss pre-implementation (including the
selection of E-prescribing software and achieving buy-in from the group
and/or administrative staff), the implementation process, and
post-implementation challenges for a variety of settings. Issues covered
include new research, decision support, the benefits of E-prescribing
and the lessons learned regarding handoffs and other post-implementation
issues.
