The state of Michigan was one of the top 10 e-prescribing states in the nation which demonstrated outstanding leadership through its use of electronic prescribing technology. States were ranked based on the number of prescriptions routed electronically in 2005 out of the total number of prescriptions eligible for electronic routing. The SafeRx Award recognizes how e-prescribing enhances patient safety by providing a more secure and accurate prescribing process.
"It is an honor for the state of Michigan to be recognized for not only its dedication to the citizens of Michigan but also for its commitment to ... the efficiency of the prescribing process," said Director Janet Olszewski, of the Michigan Department of Community Health.
