The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) are launching an online portal — Electronic Prescribing Readiness Assessment — where physicians can follow a step-by-step process designed to help them transition from paper-based prescribing to e-prescribing.
