Program Mission


To collaboratively promote and enable the usage of electronic prescribing in Massachusetts in order to improve patient safety, healthcare affordability, quality and delivery. The eRx Collaborative strongly believes that point-of-care ePrescribing technology has the power to improve patient safety by allowing prescribers to:
  • Access patient-specific drug histories to determine the patient’s current and past prescriptions
  • Check for drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions
  • Write new and renewal prescriptions electronically minimizing possible errors from illegible handwriting
  • Check for formulary compliance
  • Access drug reference guide
