Advancing Care Information – e-Prescribing (eRx)

About this Objective: Generate and transmit permissible prescriptions electronically (eRx).

Measure:

Report Calculation:

Denominator: Number of medications that were prescribed.

Numerator: Number of medications in the denominator that were prescribed electronically.

ChartLogic Tip:  Managed medications DO NOT count for this measure!

Additional Information:

• Authorizations for items such as durable medical equipment, or other items and services that may require EP authorization before the patient could receive them, are not included in the definition of prescriptions. These are excluded from the numerator and the denominator of the measure.
• Instances where patients specifically request a paper prescription may not be excluded from the denominator of this measure. The denominator includes all prescriptions written by the EP during the EHR reporting period.
