New E-Prescribing Software Eliminates Handwritten Prescriptions
May 21, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
“This product alone will single-handedly redefine how prescriptions are handled,” explains Omar Ahmed, President and CEO of OA Systems. “RxCure™ will enable doctors to access their frequently prescribed drug list and prescribe medications with a single click, sending them to any pharmacy instantly,” Ahmed added. The system will reduce pharmacy callbacks by eliminating rejections due to illegibility, drug incompatibility, or common dosage errors. The software identifies the patients’ health plans to automatically provide formulary information and provides an all encompassing database of over 16,000 medications.
Ahmed states, “It is estimated that, of the 3 billion prescriptions written annually, there are 51.5 million errors with 3.3 million of those potentially serious or deadly. We hope to eliminate these errors and save lives.”
In addition to sending the prescription directly over to the pharmacy, RxCure™ also prints a hard copy, eliminating potentially illegible handwritten copies. The software will help cut down on costs to the clinic and pharmacy by minimizing callbacks due to errors relating to the prescribed drug or reimbursement issues.
“We are in the process of becoming certified by SureScripts, an organization that is the largest network provider of electronic prescribing services for pharmacies and physicians,” explains Ahmed. “This certification means that we will be able to integrate with a network of over 55,000 pharmacies in the United States.”
RxCure™ is supported on virtually any device with a web connection. It can be accessed on a variety of platforms, such as tablet PCs, desktop computers, smart phones, and both Windows CE or Palm based PDAs.
