iScribe and insurance firm reduce rates for docs

In one of the more unpredictable alliances resulting from the Institute of Medicine report on medical errors, San Mateo, CA-based iScribe has closed an agreement with The Doctors’ Company whereby TDC will reduce malpractice premiums for physicians who use the iScribe prescription-writing system. The Napa, CA-based insurer plans to offer the incentive initially to physicians writing the highest number of prescriptions. iScribe will provide its handheld prescription-writing system to physicians on TDC’s plan free of charge starting in the third quarter of 2000. iScribe’s prescription-writing software checks for drug interactions and formulary information and automatically updates the prescription database (HNN 5/3/00).
