From the Star-Ledger: New Jersey doctors can ditch
their prescription pads and join the electronic age now that new
state rules allow them to e-mail drug orders straight to the
pharmacy.
E-mailed prescriptions can solve the problem of illegible
handwriting and misplaced decimal points, and can also be quicker
and more convenient for both doctors and patients.
New Jersey joins 37 states that allow electronic transmission of
prescriptions. Seven states do not allow electronic prescriptions,
and in six states the law is silent.
