• Costs significantly more than a stand-alone system and requires extensive data-entry of patient health information
• Additional capabilities give you access to a wider scope of patient information, including diagnosis, lab results, etc.

If you already have an EMR or electronic health record (EHR) system in place, you may already have ePrescribe capability available. Contact your EMR/EHR vendor to find out if an ePrescribe module can be activated through your existing system. You can also find out if your current technology supports computer-to-computer electronic prescribing by visiting GetRxConnected. Once there, follow the prompts to determine your system’s capabilities.

1. Assess your needs.
If you haven’t yet invested in EMR or ePrescribing software, the Center for Improving Medication Management can help you assess what type of ePrescribe solution may be best for your practice. Visit GetRxConnected and follow the prompts.

2. Choose your hardware.
If you don’t already use a computer or laptop in your exam rooms, you may want to consider a wireless hand-held device, such as a PDA or tablet for mobility and convenience. BCBSNC is partnering with Sprint^®1 to offer discounts on connectivity and wireless devices.¹

3. Choose your electronic prescribing solution.
