I practice in Ohio, to attempt to address the escribing hurdle, the State Board of Pharmacy will only allow "approved CCHIT certified emrs" or approved escribing programs. New Crop is not an option for me, however Rcopia is....
Both NewCrop & DrFirst are "SureScripts GoldRxâ„¢ Certified Solution Providers", so this should meet the requirements of your state board. The certified eRx programs and their capabilities are listed here:
