According tot his post on FierceHealthIT the AHRQ wants to know how many medical practices have successfully implemented functional e-prescribing systems and what factors hurt and help adoption.
The biggest problem that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has encountered is that most e-prescribing systems do not have the same features, and so rolling out with a national system might be difficult. Also, pharmacies are having trouble with e-prescribing software and integrating it into workflow. Because of this, the AHRQ is planning to conduct a 2 year survey which will include physicians, medical directors, IT administrators, pharmacists and other relevant staff members at 110 organizations as participants.

As we see electronic transmission of prescriptions is causing mutliple problems, and handwritten prescriptions are the cause of additional issues with legibility. The middle of the road approach - printing the prescription seems like the solution. Giving the patient a legible prescription. TSP800Rx printer can provide a direct thermal printed prescription in seconds, ready for the physician to sign and present to the patient.
