DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 2006--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c31474) has announced the addition of E-Prescribing Market Overview to their offering.

Recent studies have shown that e-prescribing delivers many benefits including reduced calls from the pharmacy to the physician, reduced costs through increased prescribing within drug formulary guidelines, increased delivery of prescribed drugs via mail order and reduced prescribing errors. With over 580,000 physicians in the United States and 225,000 of those considered high-prescribing physicians, the market opportunity for these transactions is significant. The application also lends itself to related products and additional point-of-care services to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of physicians by providing greater access to information and other decision support tools. The growing interest in lowering healthcare costs while using information technology to improve the quality of care opens up additional opportunities for acceptance of these services. Our E-Prescribing Market Overview identifies the trends and issues affecting the market. This E-Prescribing Market Overview, 225 pages, also identifies approximately 30 of the major market participants and provides information on each company which includes (when available): company background, company strategy, products and services, and recent activities.
