Electronic prescribing continues to grow at an impressive rate, but still only accounted for 12 percent of the 1.63 billion prescriptions written nationwide in 2009, according to the latest statistics from e-prescribing network Surescripts. Still, the 190 million electronic prescriptions Surescripts counted last year is nearly triple the 68 million in 2008, which itself was more than double the 29 million written in 2007, FierceEMR Editor Neil Versel reports. Surescripts forecasts 2010 volume to approach 300 million e-prescriptions and expects further growth in the future. FierceEMR
