In response to rapidly changing state laws and policies by national pharmacy chains requiring electronic prescribing, APA’s Department of Practice Management and Delivery Systems Policy has updated the e-Prescribing section of APA’s website. One of the resources you’ll find is the MD Toolbox, which offers an interactive map of the United States; just click on a state to learn the applicable laws and regulations around eRx in that state, to see whether your physicians are now required to e-prescribe. The updated web site and associated resources can be found here.
