SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Electronic prescribing. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Secretary of Technology, to establish a website with information on electronic prescribing for health practitioners, which shall contain information about the process and advantages of electronic prescribing, the availability of electronic prescribing products, links to federal and private-sector websites that provide guidance on selecting electronic prescribing products, and links to federal and private sector incentive programs for implementing electronic prescribing. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Resources in consultation with the Secretary of Technology to regularly consult with relevant public and private stakeholders to assess and accelerate implementation of electronic prescribing in Virginia. This bill further provides that, beginning in 2010, any health practitioner who contracts with the Commonwealth for the provision of health services will be required to utilize electronic prescribing to the maximum extent practicable. This bill directs the Department of Medical Assistance Services to develop programs and incentives to encourage the adoption of electronic prescribing by Medicaid providers.
