According to a recent analysis of data from the e-prescription network Surescripts:


  • By April 2014, 70% of physicians were e-prescribing using an electronic health record (EHR)
  • Only 7% of physicians were e-prescribing using an EHR when the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) was passed in December of 2008
  • 24% of physicians were e-prescribing using an EHR when the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs began in 2011
