George, it is as simple as that. First, at this point, e-Prescribing does not sync with AC. Second, many of us have paid for quite a bit of intrastructure for faxing, and it has taken months for the pharmacies to adopt it fully.
The government should not be able to force yet another unfunded mandate upon us. You have to love the algorithm they have come up with.
Those of us who have embraced electronic records should not have to take up another electronic system simply because we can. We are allowed to pick and choose what works for us and our patients.
The other thing is when e-Prescribing is able to allow us to write a script as fast as AC, then I will think about it. But, that is how captialism is supposed to work and/or business is supposed to work. If you build a better mousetrap, then someone will buy it. You shouldn't be able to build a lousy mousetrap and then have the Medicare push the mousetrap down your throats.
And, I know about mousetraps, after all I am Mighty Mouse.
