Methods: Pearson correlation in RStudio was used to determine correlations between variables. Results: The correlation coefficient for both higher and lower-ranking states ranged from 0.98 to 1, P< 2.2e -16.
Conclusion: E-Prescription through EHR positively correlated with national e-Prescription adoption in selected states. Public policy supporting e-Prescription adoption and e-Prescription through EHR could impact the quality of care.
