The U.S. arm of British drug maker AstraZeneca PLC and ePhysician Inc. are expected to announce today a three-year agreement to promote the use of ePhysician’s electronic prescription-writing systems to doctors, Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal reported.

AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP (AZN) will provide at least 500 physicians with hand-held devices that run ePhysician, and cover the system’s monthly fee of about $40, said Stuart Weisman, chief executive of closely held ePhysician, Mountain View, Calif.

Under the deal, the system will provide doctors electronic access to detailed drug information from AstraZeneca.
