E-Prescribing Guide Issued by AMA

"A clinician's guide to electronic prescribing," has been issued by the AMA, a steering group of clinicians, consumers, employers, health plans, pharmacies, and four major medical associations. This is the first comprehensive "how-to" guide to help clinicians make informed decisions about how and when to transition from paper to electronic prescribing systems. The guide also provides a list of key references and resources readers may consult to help make the transition to e-prescribing as smooth as possible.
