8 Who Will Pay for e-prescribing? Are incentives aligned? More Players e-rx Application Companies EHR vendors enhancing e-rx offerings EHR vendors integrating with e-rx applications Vertical application vendors integrating with e-rx: Charge capture Dictation Results reporting Reference Involvement of: Payors Communities Patients Broader Connectivity / Higher Utilization The National eprescribing Patient Safety Initiative (NEPSI) is a joint project of dedicated organizations that each play a unique role in resolving the current crisis in preventable medication errors. Electronic prescribing (erx) is a viable solution to counter shortcomings of the current paper-based prescribing processes that are in large part responsible for these errors. However, accessibility and cost barriers have slowed adoption of erx by providers. The goal of NEPSI is to increase patient safety by making erx accessible and desirable to all physicians and medication prescribers by providing it free of charge. The erx software provided by NEPSI is Simple Online prescribing is easier than a script pad Safe Instant checks on drug interactions, dosage levels and patient-specific factors including prior adverse reactions Secure Patient information protected by privacy and security measures including prescriber authentication e-rx standards maturing Pharmacy connectivity will overcome barriers: Not yet all pharmacies Bi-directionality still nascent Pharmacy workflow still problematic Currently an open loop system and payor connectivity evolving Patchwork of state regulations will slowly resolve Free Provided without cost by Allscripts and the members of NEPSI Presentation_ID 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc.
