Investigating the Economic Impact of Mandatory Electronic Prescribing Requirements in the United States

Magister Scientiae - MSc (Pharmacy Administration and Policy Regulation) / Technological advancements applied to healthcare may holistically improve the economic
burden of prescription medication costs. United States legislative actions requiring utilization of
electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) will drive provider utilization to decrease healthcare
spending. Federal and state e-prescribe requirements have been met with resistance by the
prescribing community, due to claims that the requirements create an economic burden for them.
This research intends to demonstrate the long-term economic value of electronic prescribing
regulations across the healthcare spectrum.
