abstract: Electronic prescribing is one of the newest tools in health care's arsenal to help "Renew our Mission of Quality Patient Care," the theme of this year's National Medical Group Practice Week. Physicians--who can be reluctant to change their paper-based ways--are learning to write and send prescriptions via electrons rather than by pen or voice. Is your practice ready for e-prescribing?
