New York Healthcare Technology: e-Prescribing
ePrescribing with Formulary Support PDF Print E-mail

The other day, my daughter had a really bad cough. We took her to a pediatrician. I explicitly asked for a generic but when I showed up at my local pharmacy I had a $40 copay.

First problem is that our pediatrician sees no value in eprescribing for her office. Sites reasons are:

1. It will break her perfect workflow.

2. She has no incentive

3. What if the device she uses breaks

My rebuttals  were not sucessfull (maybe I am a bad salesperson)

Even if she had eprescribing, what is the likelyhood that she will switch the medication based on the formulary?

According to a recent study by AHRQ, eprescribing with formulary support can save about $845K per 100K patients in drug spend.
