ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
Get Connected
The AOA has collaborated with a number of other national medical associations to launch the Get Connected program which can help osteopathic physicians determine whether their practice technology can electronically exchange prescription information with local pharmacies and whether their technology meets requirements in order to participate in Medicare's E-prescribing incentive program. Osteopathic physicians can visit the AOA’s Get Connected Web site for a free E-Prescribing Readiness Assessment.
Thousands of independent pharmacies will join with CVS/pharmacy, Duane Reade, Osco Drug, Rite Aid, Sav-On Pharmacy, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and other chain pharmacies to provide educational materials to customers explaining the benefits of e-prescribing. To learn more about the benefits of e-prescribing to the public, read the Consumer's Guide to E-prescribing. If you would like to find local physicians and pharmacies who handle electronic prescriptions, visit the Learn About E-prescriptions Web site and type in your ZIP code.
