Well, most of the time that 3-4 hours on the phone is by Medical Assistants, so it does not really save the doctor much time. I think that learning a new system cuts down on productivity for a while, and if you factor in the price of systems like Rcopia it seems to be a less than favorable route for many offices. If e-prescribing is to make a solid footing and actually become the standard, cheaper systems need to be implemented.
