Talk:Electronic prescribing

Heading
I change the header from Electronic prescribing to Electronic Prescription as this is what e-rx means. LamTK (talk) 04:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Cleanup
I removed the wikify, deadend, and advert tags as I think those have been fixed. If you see a need for other work, discuss it here rather than just adding a tag. Thanks, --Sultec (talk) 08:03, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

advice
Please add some current references--try PubMed. Please also move it to the present tense if relevant--I think it may well be a current  practice Most or all of this is i think copied from the us govt sources--since they are public domain its not copyvio, but it is still not an encyclopedic tone. It would really be better to re-write in your own words, in a somewhat mroe concise manner, and less like a PR release or government report. . DGG (talk) 22:50, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

advice
DEA rules still do not allow electronic prescribing of controlled substances, so the sentence on controlled substances is inaccurate. The agency proposed a rule in summer 2008, but has taken no action on it. Also, contrary to the comment above, electronic prescribing is not current/standard practice yet by a long shot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.62.56 (talk) 03:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

If you are looking for more information on Electronic prescribing -> use this website.

tone
This still reads as promotional to me. It needs specific references to specific discussions of it in magazines and other sources. DGG (talk) 02:08, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

ePrescribing is still so underutilized. What's wrong with getting physicians to use it if it improves patient safety. Having an ivory tower approach is not what get's the public motivated. Witness how politicians ride themes rather than being objective. I would urge that until ePrescribing is a little more accepted we remain flexible and promote its development and adoption. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HITfirefighter (talk • contribs) 02:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Government Incentives
The last edit by Quelknap removed a section w/ references that spoke about government incentives to encourage e-prescribing by office-based physicians. I referenced material from a practice-management journal for physicians. I think it is an important topic and makes a valuable contribution to this subject, as practice behavior is very likely to change as the incentives and penalties play out for physicians. These references were current, from 2009. Whereas the first three references are at least three years old. Do others feel the same way? Elukenich (talk) 15:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

last point in the paragraph of Limitations
Dear Magioladitis, Can you or anybody help elaborate this sentense:"This leaves the patient at the mercy of technicians or other undiscoverable workers.", I'm not sure I understand it. Thanks.ThomasYehYeh (talk) 01:52, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
