It connected disparate medical software, handled renewals and controlled substances digitally, and was hailed as a lifesaver before the fax era. But adoption stalled at just 5% of clinics and pharmacies, sparking criticism over its $300 million cost. The shutdown isn’t a failure — it’s a pivot. A new national e-prescription standard is in development, but for now, doctors and pharmacists may be forced back to faxes — until a better, unified system arrives.
