E‐PRESCRIBING CONSENT FORM

ePrescribing is defined by a physician’s ability to electronically send an accurate, error free,

and understandable prescription directly to a pharmacy. Congress has determined that the

ability to electronically send prescriptions is an important element in improving the

quality of patient care.

​

ePrescribing greatly reduces medication errors and enhances patient safety. The Medicare

Modernization Act (MMA) 2003 listed standards that have to be included in an ePrescribe

program.
