Irfan Iqbal, Director of Medical Informatics, Sequel Systems, says the U.S. government’s plan to provide grant money to hospitals in making the transition from paper-based to electronic health records (EHRs) would give the hospitals the resources it needs to enter the digital age and create much-needed jobs. |

Sequel Systems says the Electronic Prescribe (E-Prescribe) program, in which paper-based health records would be converted to electronic health records (EHRs), would be beneficial to hospital-based and managed services organizations. This not only reduces medical errors made in the reading of written prescriptions — which results in increased liability — but also offers financial incentives by receiving increases in Medicare reimbursements to those organizations that adopt the program. |

According to a report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), more than 1.5 million Americans are injured every year by medication errors. In the same report, the IOM recommended that all prescriptions be written and received electronically by the year 2010. Congress passed the “Medicare Improvements for Patients & Providers Act of 2008” earlier this year and CMS adopted the “Standards for e-Prescribing under Medicare Part D” and the “Medicare Prescription Drug Program” on April 7, 2008. As such, doctors who prescribe Medicare Part D drugs electronically next year will be rewarded with additional pay. However, those incentives eventually will run out, and penalties will begin for physicians who continue to write paper prescriptions. |
