The Success of E-prescribing and Where We Need to Continue to Improve Medication Management

Published: March 20, 2023, 1 p.m.

When it comes to e-prescribing and medication management, I always underestimate some of the nuances involved with the process.  While e-prescribing is one of the biggest healthcare interoperability successes, there is still plenty of work to be done to improve how medication is managed in healthcare today.  To learn more about how far the industry has come, where we are at today, and what is still needed in the future, I sat down with Cam Deemer, CEO at DrFirst, and Nele Jessel, MD, CMO at athenahealth.  Given that DrFirst works with 300 EHR and other health IT partners and athenahealth touches 20% of physicians in the US, they were able to offer some really detailed perspectives on the evolution of e-prescribing and what it still needs to be even more successful.
