AI Article Synopsis

  • The May 2005 JMCP article highlighted the effectiveness of an electronic prescribing system with clinical decision support, noting improvements in prescribing behavior and reduced costs.
  • In contrast, Ross et al. published a June 2005 article showing that a different electronic prescribing system lacking clinical decision support did not enhance generic drug use or adherence to formulary guidelines.
  • The findings suggest that standardizing assessment methods for electronic prescribing systems is essential to accurately evaluate their value and effectiveness.

Article Abstract

Standardization Is Necessary in the Methods to Assess the Value of Electronic Prescribing Systems In the May 2005 issue of JMCP, we reported that an electronic prescribing system with integrated clinical decision support was effective at improving prescribing behavior and lowering prescription costs. In contrast, Ross et al. reported in the June 2005 issue of JMCP that a different electronic prescribing system (without clinical decision support capabilities) had no impact on generic drug utilization or formulary compliance.
