I think this article should explain what ePrescribing is and how it works, but the main thrust of the article should be to explain WHY. Why should we pursue ePrescribing for every prescriber in the US? The primary reason is to improve the quality of medical care by decreasing a whole variety of prescribing errors, and, nearly as important, reduce costs. Cost savings would mainly come from not having to treat as many people who were victims of prescribing errors.
