Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey is proud to support the National ePrescribing Patient Safety InitiativeSM (NEPSISM). Recent studies by the Institute of Medicine report that medication errors harm 1.5 million patients and are responsible for more than 7,000 deaths every year. NEPSI is a coalition of technology companies, health insurers and provider organizations dedicated to improving patient safety and reducing harmful medication errors by providing free electronic prescribing (eRx) to every prescriber in America.

As a regional supporter, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey serves as the conduit for organizations in New Jersey interested in adopting NEPSI's free eRx solution, eRx NOW™ from Allscripts™. This software enables simple, safe and secure eRx powered by the same leading-edge Allscripts technology used by more than 20,000 physicians to write millions of electronic prescriptions each year.
