Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature has ordered all medical centers operating in New York State to be required to digitally transmit all prescriptions effective Easter Sunday, March 27, physicians can not write prescriptions by hand any more under penalty of law.
Healthcare providers operating in New York State take note: Beginning Today, Easter Sunday, March 27, physicians will be required to digitally transmit all prescriptions.
Doctors can use either certified e-prescribing technology or electronic health records to perform the task, but those who continue to scribble on script pads will be penalized through fines or, potentially, prison.
Many doctors in New York State and across the nation have broke the law by writing too many prescriptions causing deaths and severe injury’s. This new law will protect local residents by making it electronic.
