That means digitizing every prescription and patient history written not only in the 10-county area surrounding Tampa and St. Petersberg, Fla., but also, eventually, in the rest of the country. Over the next two years, Tampa's leaders plan to train every one of the 8,000 physicians in the area in electronic prescribing, with the goal of having at least 60% of all eligible prescriptions by Tampa Bay doctors...
