    Investigating the Economic Impact of Mandatory Electronic Prescribing Requirements in the United States
    (University of the Western Cape, 2017) Kent, Michelle; Parker, Miriam
    Technological advancements applied to healthcare may holistically improve the economic burden of prescription medication costs. United States legislative actions requiring utilization of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) will drive provider utilization to decrease healthcare spending. Federal and state e-prescribe requirements have been met with resistance by the prescribing community, due to claims that the requirements create an economic burden for them. This research intends to demonstrate the long-term economic value of electronic prescribing regulations across the healthcare spectrum.
