Ellmers Introduces Bill to Remove e-Prescribing from Meaningful Use Requirements:
Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) has introduced the “Stripping The E-prescribe Arbitrary Mandates (STEAM) Act.” In a blog post, Rep. Ellmers explains that HR 2128 “would prevent Medicare fees and penalties to hospitals and doctors that cannot yet e-Prescribe, and removes e-Prescribing as a requirement for fulfilling the ‘meaningful use’ definition of the Electronic Health Records (EHR) program. In addition, this bill would prevent those doctors and hospitals that are already receiving miniscule Medicare payments from facing further payment reductions due to the cumbersome regulations in the EHR program.
Many doctors and hospitals may be penalized because they either cannot afford the e-Prescribe system, don't have the technology to implement e-Prescribe system, or they simply have no need for it and refuse to implement it.”
