HHS report: Electronic prescribing standards need more work

Tests of the readiness of standards being developed for electronically prescribing drugs under Medicare produced mixed results, according to a a Health and Human Services Department report on the tests.

Three of six tests of new standards were able to convey prescription information in the proper format for use in a Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit, according to the report, which was delivered to Congress by Health and Human Services Department Secretary Mike Leavitt. Three other standards need more work before they can be finalized, the report concluded.
