Do you have any information on how to register for the CMS conference in Boston October 6 and 7 concerning eprescibing?

Thanks, Gyale

Is this directed primarily at outpatient prescribing and is there any applicability to inpatient prescribing?

The MIPPA e-prescribing provision that is the subject of the conference specifically addresses e-prescribing by physicians paid under the physician fee schedule.
