As annual increases in health care costs continue to outpace inflation, private insurers, public programs and consumers are challenging health care providers to incorporate technology solutions, such as electronic health records (EHR), as part of their cost reduction strategy.
"One underutilized technology that has gained the attention of policy makers and was included as part of the 2009 stimulus package is e-prescribing," said Obey. "The benefit opportunities of e-prescribing include the potential to reduce both prescription drug costs and adverse drug events."

"The benefit opportunities of implementing electronic health records and e-prescribing are clear to us," said Obey. "These technologies could potentially save lives, prevent patient harm by providing access to a patient's entire medical history, and save billions of dollars in annual health care expenditures. Yet the path to achieving this goal is less apparent and paved with a complexity of requirements."
