“A study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found that a small group of primary care practices in New York that adopted electronic prescribing systems reduced their average prescribing error rate from 42.5 per 100 prescriptions to 6.6 for every 100 prescriptions over a one-year period, Reuters Health reports.
By comparison, practices that did not adopt e-prescribing systems saw their prescription error rates remain about the same over the year, increasing from 37% to 38%.”
