I noted in another thread regarding this RxNow--a electronic prescription program that is apparently FREE. There were some who felt this was a sales pitch by ALLSCRIPTS to give the free eRx and then hook physicians into purchasing their EMR. I sent an e-mail to eRx and recieved the following response.
" Good afternoon Dr Gondo, The eRx NOW data can be exported in a standard format for import into any other EMR or clinical system at no cost. The vendor of that system may charge you to import that data but the export is free. eRx Now is not a sales pitch, in fact Allscripts is only one of many vendors that have come together to make this offering. The initiative was created to facilitate the adoption of the eRx solution throughout the country (which will improve quality and reduce costs). In the event that a user of eRx Now wishes to upgrade their software to include more than e-prescribing Allscripts would love to offer our product lines to them, but eRx is and will remain free."
In fact, it appears the it's competitor, Surescripts, and an assortment of unrelated associations and firms are joining into the venture. If what is quoted is true, can Jon or someone from AC a seemless link to the free eRx so that we can have eRx as a part of AC?
