According to Modern Healthcare [June, 2008] the American Medical Association’s-House of Delegates [HODs] adopted a resolution calling for an end to government-imposed barriers to e-prescribing.
The Resolution
The resolution called for the removal of all federal Medicare and state Medicaid requirements mandating the use of paper prescription forms for certain drugs – that the AMA initiate discussions with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration to allow e-prescribing of schedule 2 drugs – and that Medicare or Medicaid payments not be contingent upon adoption of e-prescribing.
Assessment
The resolution also called on the AMA to work with federal and private entities to ensure universal acceptance by pharmacies of electronically transmitted prescriptions.
Assessment
Should we really bite the [Medicare] “hand that feeds us?”

Currently, just 17% of physicians working in ambulatory care have adopted electronic health-record systems, and only 4% have access to “fully functional” systems with key patient-safety features such as drug alerts, according to a summary of an authoritative survey funded jointly by HHS and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
