DETROIT, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- According to new data released today, more than 90 percent of the 2.5 million electronic prescriptions written in the state of Michigan in 2007 came from doctors within the seven counties of the Southeast Michigan ePrescribing Initiative (SEMI) -- helping drive Michigan to fifth in the nation in the adoption and utilization of ePrescribing technology. The findings are part of the Electronic Prescribing Progress Report, a national assessment of the adoption of electronic prescribing in the United States, published by SureScripts, operator of the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange(TM).

SEMI is a coalition that includes General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler LLC, the United Auto Workers, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Health Alliance Plan, Henry Ford Medical Group, Medco Health Solutions, Inc., CVS Caremark Corporation, RxHub, LLC and SureScripts(R).
