Q: Will ePrescribe America offer a product?
A: In the first phase of the initiative, the primary products are educational programs and tools that provide an informational resource so prescribers can understand the options and opportunities that exist at all levels of electronic prescribing. This includes drug reference applications, stand-alone e-prescribing applications, and electronic medical record systems that have an embedded electronic prescribing capability.
Q: How is ePrescribe America different from other electronic prescribing initiatives?
A: ePrescribe America is striving to be vendor agnostic, providing Virginia prescribers with the information necessary to make an educated and informed choice regarding why and how to e-prescribe. This includes communicating health plan and other incentive programs that may exist for the Virginia prescribing community such as those offered by other prescribing initiatives.
Q: Will ePrescribe America select and recommend e-prescribing solutions?
A: In the first phase of our efforts, ePrescribe America will focus on becoming an informational clearinghouse for prescribers and offer valuable information on how to select and implement the right application. Based on the feedback and input that we receive from health plans, prescribers, pharmacists, vendors and regional quality and safety organizations, we wil levolve our outreach programs in the future.
Q: Will those participating in ePrescribe America be providing financial incentives to prescribers?
A: At this time ePrescribe America will serve as a resource to help promote and communicate the various incentive programs offered through participating health plans, or other grants and funding opportunities as they materialize. Based on prescriber and community input, sponsorship opportunities, and how best to accelerate adoption, direct incentives may be implemented in the future.
